I own a small construction company focused on universal design and green technology in Lexington Massachusetts with my husband.  We have four children together, one of which has a physical and intectual disability, hence our interest in universal design.  I co-chair my special education parent advisory council, am a member of the Lexington Commission on Disability and sit on the board of directors for Partners for Youth with Disability.  I received my LEND certification from the UMass Medical School at the Shriver location in 2011 and am pursuing my Masters in Public Administration at Suffolk University.  I have extensive experience in adminstration and finance and am dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities.
