Summary

In her eight-year tenure, she championed vital policy reforms in Boston Public Schools by establishing mandatory parental consent and supervision regulations for adolescents. Her education initiatives ensured that a culturally and age-appropriate curriculum was fully adopted to protect students' safety. She also led the nation's first listening-only hearing, gathering voices from families affected by gun violence. Through partnerships with organizations like the National Black Womens Justice Institute, she supported the creation of evidence-based policies that end the school to prison pipeline for marginalized students. Furthermore, she successfully secured 75 new liquor licenses to address community needs. Beyond academic improvements, she expanded public service offerings to include support for Miami communities, the LGBTQ+ youth, and diverse neighborhoods through dedicated committees and coalition leadership.
