I grew up in South Windsor and graduated from Bryant College with a degree in Business Administration. I’ve worked at Travelers for 16 years, currently as a Director of Data Management.
I moved to Newington when I bought my first house in 2006. Knowing I wanted a family, the quality of the school system was one of the most important things I looked for in a town and Newigton was at the top of my list.
I have three wonderful daughters, two of them are currently enrolled in the Newington school system. My oldest, Quinn is a 6th grader at Martin Kellogg and Zoë is in 2nd grade at Anna Reynolds. Charlotte is six months and isn’t quite ready to attend school but she is definitely looking forward to it!
In 2020, my husband Jim and I decided it was time for a new home and again we knew we needed to stay here to continue to build our lives in this amazing town.
I have been an active member of the Anna Reynolds PTO since 2015 when my daughter started Kindergarten. I currently serve on the executive board as the Treasurer. I also joined the Martin Kellogg PTO when she entered middle school.
Last year, I was asked to be co-chair of an Anna Reynolds PTO special committee where I helped spread the word about the Anna Reynolds renovation project. I made and delivered signs and spread the word throughout town about the vote and provided the facts of the project. I’m proud that the referendum passed with an overwhelming majority!
In April 2021, I received the Newington Community Champion Award for my work with the renovation referendum and this summer I also received a Newington Kindness Counts sign.
If elected, I promise to be an advocate for all children of Newington. I believe we owe it to them to always ensure the decisions the board makes are in their best interests and make sure they are getting the best education they can. My youngest daughter Charlotte will graduate from NHS in 2039 so we have a long vested interest in the Newington Public School System!
