Leadership spans the different roles we play in our lives. I am a mother, a citizen, a professional, a community leader, a small business owner, an artist, a daughter, and a friend. I grew up in Sutton and Grafton, went out into the world, and came home to raise my kids and be a builder in the place that matters most to me.
The way I see the world is a product of the many experiences I've had, particularly the trust everyday people have placed in me to tell their stories.
For 25 years, I've worked as a filmmaker, listening and finding the truth in complicated stories. From war zones to kitchen tables, I've asked hard questions, found common ground, and worked to amplify and elevate the voices of others.
I'm running for State Representative because government needs those same skills.
The 18th District is not a monolith of beliefs; it's a living community that needs a representative voice on Beacon Hill, not a divisive one, focused on the needs we all share: affordability, safety, economic security, and progress.
You can't fix a problem you won't name honestly. We need a new approach.
When the problem is no room for the animals, my solution is to raise a barn together, not burn the other barns down. Building is hard. It requires collaboration. It's also how things get done.
I believe we need to rebuild trust, in government and in each other. I'll work for everyone in this district, whether they vote for me or not.
Not all of my answers will fit in a tweet, and the solutions won't always be instant, but they will be real, not for show.
Progress at home isn’t about left versus right. It's about creation versus destruction.
If you believe it's time to start building again, I humbly ask for your vote.
Education is national security.
We spend freely on national security and call it non-negotiable—yet education, which is our real national security, gets treated as optional. The money is there, it's the priorities that are coming up short. We can't out-compete anyone while underfunding the schools that build our workforce. We're only as great as the sum of our people.
Energy costs are too high, and the people profiting from the status quo would rather blame environmental regulations than fix outdated infrastructure, enable efficiency, or reckon with global energy instability — because lower bills mean lower profits.
The cheapest energy is the energy you never have to buy.
Working families deserve housing that's actually affordable — and dated state laws need to catch up with the developers exploiting its loopholes, including the exclusion of quality union labor and licensing.
No One Should Be Priced Out of Their Own Life.
Reviving our region.
We live in the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and it’s time to renew that claim with a renaissance of small business, innovation, and culture in the Blackstone Valley.
A.I. & The Future of Work.
AI can be a powerful tool for workers and communities — but only if we set clear ethical guardrails and ensure it strengthens, not replaces, human judgment and livelihoods.
From rising costs to health care to the quiet crush of the sandwich generation, seniors and their families deserve a real seat at the table.
A Lifetime of Work Should Mean Security.
As cancer rates rise, our drinking water needs to be universally tested for toxins like PFAS so we can assess and respond. Clean water is infrastructure.
