Working Class Party nominee for Governor of Maryland in the 2026 general election.

She has also worked as a babysitter, house cleaner, and in a pizza shop, pet hotel, nursing home, and warehouse. She worked full time while caregiving for her mother, who had Parkinson's disease and dementia, and for her sister, who has Down syndrome. She advocates for an independent political organization of the working class and speaks on jobs, low wages, inflation, war, childcare and eldercare, and retirement security. She was the Working Class Party's nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland in 2022.
