I’ll be standing for you and with you-always.

With open eyes, ears, mind and voice, I hope to serve all who call Cranston their home by addressing the issues that impact our lives. If elected as a member of our City Council, I would bring reliable and honorable representation to the people of our great City in a fiscally responsible and transparent way.

I have committed my life to a role of sacrifice and hard work. As a daughter of Italian immigrants, I worked my way through college and law school. For the last twenty one years, I have been a civil litigation defense attorney. As a lawyer, I fully understand what it is like to be the voice for someone else; the importance of listening and problem solving; and to be able to   agree to disagree in a civil manner.  These vital skills are inherent in who I am and what I do each day.  It will be my pleasure in the weeks and months ahead to work hard to convey to the great people of our city that I will make every effort to represent them and work together to solve our problems in order to continue to move Cranston forward.

For over twenty two years, my husband and I have proudly called Cranston our home having lived in both the eastern and western parts of the city.  As a working mother of two school-aged children, I understand the importance of a good education and the challenges families face in these unprecedented times. I have volunteered with PTG/PTO groups at Oak Lawn Elementary School and Hope Highlands Middle School, and the school department’s community meetings on the issue of fiscally responsible infrastructure improvements.

For those who know me, they know that when my community is in need of a voice, I eagerly step up to the plate while never forgetting that it is a team effort. It would be my privilege to represent the great people of our City in the role of their Citywide Council representative.

I seek to serve my community and humbly ask for your support.
