The Moment Everything Changed
In 1996, I began my career as an attorney. But my true calling arrived when my one-year-old son was diagnosed with severe, life-threatening food allergies.
My worst nightmare came true when he entered kindergarten. A classroom craft activity triggered severe anaphylactic shock, sending him to the emergency room. When I demanded changes, the school insisted his life-saving EpiPen remain locked in a distant nurse's office. In an emergency, seconds mean survival. "That's just the policy" was completely unacceptable.
From Parent to Public Advocate
Realizing the legal system was failing our children, I took the fight to the State House. I spent seven years drafting and passing Massachusetts legislation to guarantee students immediate, classroom access to life-saving epinephrine.
That battle completely transformed my mission. I realized families don't just need a lawyer who reads regulations—they need an advocate who shares their daily anxiety. I know the stakes because I live them.
