I was born and raised in Central New York by middle-class parents who both ran small businesses. From my parents’ example, I learned the importance of hard work, integrity and education. While starting out my career, some of my jobs included providing intervention to toddlers with autism, home care for disabled teenagers, and various teaching assignments in underprivileged schools.

In my 20’s I moved to New York City and began a career helping the government to better serve people, designing and facilitating training for thousands of school administrators on new technology to improve the NYC Department of Education. This gave me valuable experience with delivering programs to help the government run more efficiently.

I am now a proud mother of four young children, all born in NY21. As a mom, I’ve been a fierce advocate for my children and a powerful defender of what I believe is right. As a professional, I have over a decade of career experience in leadership, education, and representing those who need it most. It would be my greatest honor to serve and represent the people of NY21 with integrity, and work towards a brighter future.

  • I am working to return honesty, integrity, and transparency to politics
  • I will fight for fiscal responsibility, budget reform, term limits, and anti-corruption measures
  • I advocate for women's rights and choice
* Promoting economic opportunities for small businesses to grow and thrive in Upstate NY, and lowering the cost of living

  • Defending the Second Amendment against Gov. Hochul’s unconstitutional infringements

  • Supporting women’s rights, and choice. The government should stay out of our bodies. Decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor.
Honesty, integrity, transparency, and a desire to serve the people rather than their own personal ambitions.
I am a hard-working, open minded, honest and transparent candidate, and I will fight hard to be the voice of my district.
To listen to the people you are serving, and bring their concerns back to the House of Representatives, intent on writing laws to ameliorate the issues in your district. You also need to remain available and approachable after being elected; not just while campaigning.
I believe it's beneficial to have a balanced mix of representatives, some of whom are experienced politicians and some of whom are regular citizens with a passion for serving the people.
I strongly believe we need term limits to prevent lifelong politicians from keeping their seats to increase their power and wealth, without an increased benefit to the people they are meant to serve. I support a term limit of three terms (six years) for the House of Representatives and two terms (12 years) for Senators.
