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.
I’m a strong proponent of the Fair Share Amendment, which will tax the richest 1% of Massachusetts who have routinely benefited from tax breaks. I’ll advocate for Chicopee to get its “fair share” of this revenue to close the achievement gap in our public schools, expand universal Pre-K, and improve PVTA service.
