- After graduating from MIT with a degree in Economics, I traded options on the exchange floor and later became a stock analyst helping investors find and fund lifesaving and life enhancing medical devices in areas including cardiology, orthopedics,diabetes, stem cell therapy and neurology.
My experience analyzing risk, identifying good and bad consequences of new therapies, and working with top doctors, investors and company executives should translate to serving the people of my district and all Granite Staters.

- My life started in a dramatic fashion when a small aircraft crashed into the building where my family lived with my grandparents. My parents did not have much money, and were lucky to have family that could help us financially. My grandparents worked hard in their poultry market and always saved enough to be available to help anyone in need. My parents followed suit with this tradition and were always there as a safety net for others. The value of being there to help others has stuck with me, and one of the reasons I am running is to ensure that citizens in New Hampshire have a safety net to support them.
I was raised in New Jersey by two parents who worked incredibly hard in a small jewelry manufacturing business to take care of our family. My dad often worked six or seven days a week; during his busy season, it was not unusual for him to sleep in his office. My mom worked equally hard, playing a key role in managing the business. I was thankful to have grandparents who lived with us in a two family house; they were able to care for me when my parents were working.
I met my husband Jonathan on a daytime talk show hosted by Tom Bergeron of Dancing with the Stars almost 30 years ago. It’s a long story, but we have been together ever since that fateful meeting. Many of you have met Jon in Memorial Hospital’s emergency room, where he worked as the Medical Director. My two stepchildren, Seth and Serena were young when our lives intersected, and are now adults living in Brooklyn and Anchorage Alaska. We are now blessed with a wonderful daughter-in-law, Elli, and two beautiful grandchildren, Aris and Nikki. I love being a Nana and seeing the world from a small child’s perspective.
