I am a wife and mother at the helm of a family with four children who spends her free time advocating for families and children on issues that matter most to local families. When I'm not submitting public records requests to local municipalities to root out corruption and demand transparency, I can be found speaking at town meetings asking tough questions of elected officials or organizing like-minded conservatives to hold signs on street corners. A freelance writer and former contributor to The Herald News, Fall River Reporter and WSAR, I have found my home at WBSM where I can use my platform to inspire others to learn more about local issues and get involved.
