Bio SummaryI was born in Taunton in 1976 and raised in Attleboro. My mother and father are pharmacists and small business owners. My sister is a pharmacist and another sister is a nurse practitioner; I come from a medical family. My half-sister is a music teacher. I spent many summers and days after school working in my parents' drugstores. I learned the value of hard work, service and small business ownership from a very early age.
I attended Jack and Jill Preschool, Studley Elementary School, Brennan Middle School, and then graduated from Attleboro High School in 1995, where I received the 'Most Genuine' class superlative by my high school class. After graduation, few opportunities were available to me. I found a temp position as a janitor at the North Attleborough Council on Aging. In 1996 I started working at the Attleboro YMCA and took courses at Fisher College, then located in Attleboro, Rhode Island College and Providence College night school. After turning my academic career around and earned high grades in night school, I applied for and was accepted for transfer to the University of Southern California and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and neuroscience in 2001. I earned a Master's in Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania in 2005, and I also earned a Master's from the London School of Economics in 2006. Since 1996, I have devoted my life to public service and the service of others, and after eleven years of work experience with children, internationally and in criminal justice, I went back to school for a third master's, this time in Public Administration at Harvard's School of Government graduating in 2011. At Harvard I was nominated by my classmates for the RFK Award for Excellence in Public Service for my volunteer work with senior citizens, youth mentoring, and prison reform advocacy. I live with my dog Sashi on Newport Ave in Attleboro. |
