“I am a mom of four boys and grandmom to 1 darling granddaughter. My family has lived in Drexel Hill for 17 years. Two of my sons are still in public school, while the other two are twin boys who came into our family as teenagers, and are now adults. My education has been at public universities.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) “This was, and continues to be, a difficult and expensive juggle for many, if not most, families. My experience has taught me how important it is to reinstate the Child Tax Credit, help families with child care costs and develop paid family leave policies! Our families deserve support to thrive.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) “I taught college level history online, and also in person at PAFA and DCCC before leaving teaching for public service. I served as a school board director in Upper Darby, and District Director to State Rep. Leanne Krueger and then as District Director and Senior Advisor to Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon. These positions have taught me how to navigate government, develop budgets and provide state and federal services to our communities.”
