| Info | My parents wanted their children to have better lives than they did, so they committed themselves to ensuring my brothers and I had every opportunity. I grew up working alongside my family in our small business, where I learned the value of teamwork, respect, hard work, and sacrifice.
I put myself through college, earning a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a master’s degree in Education at Rutgers University. I enjoyed laboratory research but left the laboratory for the classroom because I wanted the opportunity to change and shape students’ lives.
As a teacher, I prepared my students for an increasingly complex and technological world by helping them become effective problem solvers and scientifically literate citizens.
I have always worked hard to support myself, often taking on extra jobs to pay my bills. Building on the entrepreneurial skills I learned as a child, I started my own home improvement business to supplement my teaching salary.
I was raised to believe that you can do anything.
I plan to deliver on that simple belief by finding common sense solutions to the challenges we face, fighting for what we believe in, and finding a way to “yes.”
I have spent the last two years in Washington working for Congress, so I know how Washington works-- or more importantly, how it doesn’t work.
Washington doesn’t seem to understand that families are hurting. People are concerned that they won’t have jobs, that they won’t be able to afford healthcare for their families, and that they won’t be able to leave an America that is better for their children than it was for them.
As a Member of Congress, I will use my unique blend of knowledge of small business, science, and education to be a leader and an advocate for the 7th district of New Jersey. I intend to bring the real world experience and common sense solutions that we need to overcome the challenges our families face.
But I need your support to move our country forward. Please take a moment to learn more about my background and my plans to put our children and our future before the demands of special interests.
