I started my career as a reporter with the Associated Press, reporting on state government from the Massachusetts State House and on economic issues in Rhode Island during the Great Recession. From there, I spent nearly nine years as the communications director at MassDevelopment, the Commonwealth’s finance and development authority. In that role, I oversaw press outreach, social media, and crisis communications for the agency investing more than $3 billion a year in the Massachusetts economy.
I’m a graduate of Bowdoin College, where I majored in English and minored in Italian, and of Boston University, where I earned a master’s degree in print journalism. I’m also an alumna of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Women’s Leadership Program. I’m at my happiest when I’m outside, waterskiing, cooking, or reading, but my heart has the most joy experiencing any one of those with my husband and three sons.
