​I grew up in a middle-class family where my mom ran a small business in Honesdale and my dad was a federal marshal. I didn't grow up dreaming of a career in politics and never thought it was a career for me. But politics as usual isn't working for people like me and you, and nothing is going to change if we continue to elect the same types of people to office. The problems facing everyday hardworking Pennsylvanians can be best fixed by those of us who count ourselves among their ranks. My experiences and the experiences of my loved ones motivate me to keep fighting to build a better Pennsylvania. I share with you a bit about these experiences so that you can better understand why I support fully funding our public schools and support fixing our healthcare system so every Pennsylvanian can have access to quality affordable healthcare.
  • I will fight for accessible and affordable health care.
  • Our children need a quality education and funding from the state, especially in these uncertain times.
  • Protecting the environment while also creating jobs in the energy industry.
Juvenile justice reform, mental healthcare availability at a fair cost, education funding.
I've been involved for years helping other families and through my advocacy work but took time off after my son's passing. In that time, I've found the courage to stand up and fight again. I know that the best way to help children and families like mine is to bring change to Harrisburg .
That I fought for a better world for our children. No parent should have to experience the pain of losing a child. Our children deserve safe, healthy, fully funded, inclusive, and trauma-informed schools. And every Pennsylvanian deserves the right to high quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare.
Two and a half years ago, my family's life changed forever. We lost our son to mental illness when he died by suicide at just 19 years old.

​Like many who live with a health impairment at a young age, his school became the second line of defense, aiding his battle with mental health. When he was eight, we began working with his teachers, counselors, and other school officials to find a solution. The school's programs were anemic, but many of the faculty tried to keep up and support students with all they had. We had to look outside of our insurance and pay out-of-pocket for care. At this point, we were balancing a family of 5, my husband worked during the day, and I worked evening shifts so that we could break even with the mounting medical bills of my son's treatment, a mortgage, and two little ones in diapers.
