What skills and experience
will you bring to this
committee assignment?
I grew up in a Northampton low-income household and
understand the struggle and reality of facing homelessness in
this area. I am a community organizer and over the years I have
developed relationships with low-moderate income and public
housing residents in Northampton through door to door outreach,
community events, organized sports, and having worked in the
Northampton Public Schools. In addition, I have served on the
Valley Community Development board of directors, Cooley
Dickinson Hospital Healthy Communities Committee, CDH
Patient and Family Advisory Council, and Casa Latina, Inc. board
of directors. Currently, I am the director of Hampshire
Association of Tenants, Inc. (HAT) a new tenant organization in
Northampton.
