I'm close with my family. My parents have been amazing role models for me.
Growing up I attended St. Mary's School, Cony High School, Bowdoin College and the Yale School of Management. I played basketball and field hockey for state championship teams in high school. I also played college basketball. In my personal time I enjoy getting involved in worthy causes, spending time with my children, working out and traveling.- Working for small businesses
- Caring for our community and our state
- Keeping Maine affordable
Substance use services - Substance use disorder (SUD) has tremendously impacted our state. We have seen individuals and families suffer.. education, housing, the environment.
My first adult job was as an Americorps VISTA Volunteer working in a youth entrepreneurship program in West Philadelphia. After my year of service I worked for the nonprofit for three additional years.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
