A resident of Charlestown for almost 30 years, I met my husband, Frost, when we were students at CHARIHO Tech's ag program. I was the first in my family to go to college, and worked full-time to pay my way. I earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Rhode Island. My husband and I are the parents of two sons who attend local public schools.

I’m proud to be the RI State Representative for district 36, serving Charlestown, South Kingstown, Westerly and Block Island. Let's stand up for our families and our future in Rhode Island. ​

 

OUR SHARED VISION

We want to build an economy that offers jobs, affordable housing and an environment that can sustain us, so that Rhode Islanders can thrive in Rhode Island for generations to come.​
