The System Failed. But So Did Our Imagination.

I’ve seen what happens when care systems stop caring. Families drowning in paperwork. Older adults made to feel like burdens. Professionals walking away, burned out and unseen.

The truth? The system failed—on me, on my community, and on the people it was built to protect. But I still believe in what we can rebuild.

As the founder of Maine Aging Partners, I’ve helped families across Maine face long-term care with clarity and strength. I know what’s broken, but I’ve also seen the quiet good that still holds us together—neighbors helping neighbors, families showing up, even when it’s hard. The lessons I’ve learned helping Maine families navigate broken systems belong in the room where decisions are made.

I’m a mom, a truth-teller, and a bridge-builder. I’m running as an Independent because this isn’t about left or right—it’s about getting it right.

We can build a future where care isn’t a crisis, but a reflection of who we are. Where families are supported, professionals are respected, and aging is seen for what it truly is—a stage of strength and dignity.

Because our kids are watching what we do next. And I’m determined to make sure what they see is worth believing in.
