I was raised in Chicopee by a single mother, who worked hard to provide for our family. I am a proud product of the Chicopee public schools, attending Stefanik Elementary, Bellamy Middle, and graduated from Chicopee High School in 2007 with honors. In high school, I served as class President, President of the Art Club, Deputy Commander in JROTC, attended Girls State, and volunteered at the Holyoke Soldiers Home.
We can prevent violence and keep people safe through fighting poverty, stopping the flow of dangerous opioids, and improving police-community relations. I’ll advocate for patient needs over hospital CEO bonuses, and fight to ensure a lasting COVID recovery.
