My life’s work has been about educating children, organizing the community, and fighting for workers. I started my own business, a family-run childcare, but like other educators, I struggled to get by. I organized workers to form a union, and was the first President of SEIU 509’s Family Child Care Chapter.
As a Lawrence City Councilor, we renovated two schools, made street, road, and sidewalks repairs, revitalized parks and alleyways, and built a new police substation. I started Cafecito Fridays, bringing residents’ voices into city government.
You deserve a State Representative who’s responsive to you, can get things done, and actually shows up to meetings and votes. I’ll be laser-focused on bringing down housing and utility costs, creating jobs and economic opportunities, and ensuring community safety. I humbly ask for your vote on September 1st.

Housing costs are out of control, and too many families and seniors are being pushed out of our community. I’ll fight for real solutions—bringing in funding to build more affordable homes, expand paths to homeownership, and make sure seniors can access the care they need to stay and thrive right here at home.

I’ll lead on education and opportunity—expanding early education, STEM, and vocational pathways that connect our students to good-paying jobs. And I’ll show up, unlike my opponent—at meetings, hearings, and every vote—while fighting for transparency, accountability, and a full State House audit so government works for you.

Lawrence and Methuen are facing an asthma and diabetes crisis. I’ll fight for real solutions—better access to affordable, healthy food and stronger efforts to improve air quality.
Public safety starts with community trust, including better police relations and expanded access to drug treatment so every resident can live in a safer, healthier community.
