I'm 29 years old, living in West Hartford, CT with my 2 year old son and husband of 4 years. I am a policy analyst currently working on early care and education issues for the Connecticut Association for Human Services. I am a graduate of UCONN and have been a member of the Young Women's Leadership Program, a Project of the CT Permanent Commission on the Status of Women for five years. I volunteer for a variety of non-profits, including Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Park Street Playhouse. I am passionate about improving conditions for women and children, civic engagement and my family and friends.
