I was raised in Central Massachusetts to parents who helped me believe I could achieve anything. I attended college at Boston University and majored in Biology. I was accepted into an early admissions program to BU Medical School as a Junior in college. This enabled me to take Medical school classes as an undergraduate freeing up some time in my first two years of medical school. I used this time to do medical missions in Ecuador for underserved indigenous patients. At this time, also, I was accepted into the Army Health Professionals Scholarship Program (HPSP) and began my career as an officer. I did my surgical training at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and cared for the casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

After my training, I was stationed at Fort Belvoir and started a surgical bariatric program with much acclaim. At this time, Tim and I had a young family and opted to raise them outside a city environment. We bought a small farm in Manheim at auction and experimentation with farming and house renovations began. I began work at the Lebanon VA continuing to work with our soldiers as a civilian. I have been at the Lebanon VA for 17 years and working as the chief of General Surgery.

We have 3 young adult children who are making their own marks on the world. Our oldest is a recent US Military Academy at West Point graduate with honors, our daughter was valedictorian at LCHS and is now a sophomore at Brown University, and our youngest son is a Freshman at Cornell University studying Finance. We also believe that they can do anything.

Get involved in the 2023 election. Our candidates need our help.
