About
I’m a recent graduate of Middlesex Community College with an Associate’s in Public Health Informatics and Technology, now continuing my education at UMass Lowell in Information Technology and Population Health Informatics. I am a mother of four beautiful children and I hope to be a power of example for them and show them how valuable an education is.
Currently, I’m interning with MHOA and Barnstable County’s Health Department, training to become a Health Inspector while contributing to public health initiatives like improving access to feminine hygiene products in public restrooms.
My ultimate goal is to be a leader in public health and a power of example for other women by using my experience and education to drive meaningful change in my community.
