I am an alumni of Penn State with a bachelor's in Education and Public Policy. I am a fourteen year Military Veteran (Navy, Army, TX National Guard and currently serving in the Army Reserves). I also come from a family with a strong background in Education, seven teachers ranging from Preschool and Special Education, to Physical Education and a College Professor. On the political side of things, my brother-in-law, Brendan Boyle, serves the U.S. House of Representatives from the 13th District in Pennsylvania, and his brother, Kevin Boyle is a Pennsylvania State Representative in Philadelphia. Following their careers has motivated me to begin my own in politics. I am extremely interested in educational policies and also policies that affect our military service members.
