I was born in New York and raised in California. I reside in Plainville with my son, Christopher, and dog, Coco, can’t forget her.
I am a devoted mother. As a mother I’ve learned about strengths I never knew I had and gained the ability to overcome challenges I could never have expected.
There are many times you can feel like you’ve failed, but in the eyes, heart, and mind of your child, you are always a super mom.
I have worked at UConn Health since October 2013 as a certified medical assistant in the Comprehensive Spine Clinic.
I recently became more involved with union. This year I attended the AFT convention as a delegate for our union. It was an amazing learning experience and made me realize how much more we can do for our fellow members.
I hope you will cast a vote for me so I can help strengthen our union and better serve our members.
