Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a Special Education teacher for adjudicated youth just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, the students taught me more about empathy and patience than any formal education. I carried this understanding of human development to Milestones Day School in Waltham, MA where I worked as a Science teacher for years before meeting my husband, Andrew. We settled in Francestown, NH to reconnect with the natural world. I was building a welcoming yoga studio in Epping, NH when COVID-19 hit our nation. Transitioning the business online allowed time to put more action behind my growing passion to mend our government and modernize our communities. Though my job title may change, my life goals have not. I am committed to helping others learn the value of their own voices and preserving our environment through 21st century technology.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

* I support legislation that closes healthcare gaps and increases mental health access across the state.
* I support legislation that addresses equitable school funding from the state to decrease the burden on property owners.
* I support legislation that answers the calls for climate action to keep New Hampshire on the path to Zero-Carbon energy by 2030.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I support investing in zero-carbon energy and long overdue upgrades like expanded broadband internet. This will make our towns accessible for remote workers and learners. I am an advocate for mental health expansion to solve a number of community concerns, such as opioid addiction and suicide. As a teacher, I know that equitable school funding and reducing student debt is key to providing equal opportunities for all children and adding 21st century skills to our workforce.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.

## Scorecards[edit]

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states.  To contribute to the list of New Hampshire scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
