I’m a proud Camden, New Jersey native and earned my bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University–Camden. I recently completed my Master of Public Policy at Rowan University (2026), where I further developed my passion for creating policies that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

For more than three years, I have worked in the nonprofit sector, beginning my career at a Family Success Center. Those experiences reinforced my commitment to serving children and families and deepened my interest in education policy. I am passionate about advocating for policies that recognize and support the unique needs of every child, ensuring they have equitable opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

Outside of work, I'm a proud mom to an energetic six-year-old who absolutely loves the ocean. We enjoy spending our free time exploring the beach, playing in the water, and reading about just about everything. Watching the world through my child's eyes continually reminds me why investing in children and their futures is so important.
