Updates
A lot has changed over the last 2 years since being elected to Town Council!
I'm currently working at 80 Acres, a Black-owned Law Firm new to Amherst and focused on
climate justice.
I'm also serving as Assistant Director at CLUB OH!, a non-profit organization focused on youth workforce development in Springfield where we recently received $50,000 in American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds!
My kids are growing up!
My youngest child will be starting kindergarten this Fall at 80 Acres independent school and my oldest child will be starting middle school at ARMS.
