Back my campaign

I am deeply committed to supporting youth and families through times of challenge, and I believe in creating environments where resilience, healing, and hope can take root. Currently, I serve as the Program Director of the Short Term Assessment and Respite (STAR) Home for girls, where I lead a multidisciplinary team dedicated to safety, empowerment, and growth.

My background spans trauma, suicidality, relationship violence, behavioral intervention, and social-emotional practices, giving me a holistic perspective that guides both leadership and program development. I earned my Master of Arts in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Special Education from the University of Connecticut, and my work is grounded in the belief that every young person deserves both immediate safety and long-term opportunity.

Outside of work, I find renewal in nature—hiking, chasing waterfalls, and sailing—and I embrace freedom and adventure on the road, whether on my motorcycle or with the top down in my convertible.
