My Story
Homegrown, Locally Committed
I’m proud to be a lifelong Atlantic County resident, still living in the same home I grew up in. I attended Northfield schools, graduated from Mainland Regional High School, and through hard work, student loans and multiple jobs, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. I could have built my future anywhere, but I chose to come home. For more than 30 years, I worked in retail management with brands like Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Talbots, and Apple, leading teams, training colleagues, and delivering results in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. My career taught me the value of integrity, teamwork, and listening; skills that are just as critical in public service as they are in business.
Family, Resilience, and Advocacy
Family has always been my foundation. As a single mother of two, including a child with significant mental health challenges, I’ve fought for the support my family needed. When my mother developed dementia, I left retail to become her full-time caregiver. It was a hard call financially, but I’ve always believed people come first. I’ve spent hours coordinating care, sitting in emergency rooms, and fighting for every service my loved ones deserved; struggles too many NJ CD-2 families know well. These experiences taught me to cut through red tape, push for solutions, and never give up. I’m running for Congress to bring that same fight to Washington and serve our district like family.
