While raising my family and working full time, I fulfilled my dream of receiving an Associates Degree in Business Administration. Following graduation, I became a State Licensed Insurance Producer.
I am familiar with the inner workings of local government. As a concerned resident of Cheltenham, I took on the Township Commissioners to improve safety at our children's pools. Later, I took on the School Board due to the mold at Cedarbrook Junior HS.
I am a single mom who bore the sole responsibility of providing for my daughters and sending them to college. My two oldest daughters are proud graduates of nearby Arcadia & Temple Universities and my youngest daughter is currently attending West Chester University in her Senior Year.
It is because of this experience that I will fight for our single parents in Pennsylvania every day. Pennsylvania's Child Support & Divorce Laws are antiquated- having been on the books for decades. This is my passion.
I will always vote independently & only serving the interests of those who elected me. I am one of your neighbors. I am just like you. I will vote just like you.- CHILD SUPPORT & DIVORCE LAW REFORM
- HEALTHCARE REFORM/TRANSPARENCY
- VOTING MACHINE/MAIL-IN BALLOT PRIVACY REFORM
I raised three daughters right here in Glenside as a single mom. Upon graduating from High School, their Child Support ceased. At that time, I was working full time and earning an Associates Degree in Business Administration. My school loans were just beginning as my daughters were entering college. Not only was I responsible for funding my own education, I was solely responsible for theirs. Proudly, two have graduated from nearby Arcadia & Temple Universities and my youngest daughter is in her Senior Year at West Chester University.
