Short Bio
I love this country, and I believe it can do better for everyone, not just the rich or the connected.
I’m not a native Mainer, but I’ve lived here for more than 20 years, and I call Maine home.
I have worked in a wide range of jobs and roles, from photography and publishing to retail, teaching, and caregiving.
I earned a BA in Organizational Leadership and a MA in Leadership and Ethics, and I taught Ethics at Eastern Maine Community College for seven years.
I have advocated for fair redistricting, worked for equal pay as an adjunct faculty union member, invented retail products, and developed proposals on congressional redistricting and term limits.
