I will be joining with Senator Judy Schwank to host a FREE paper shredding event TOMORROW on Saturday, April 11 at the Masonic Lodge in West Reading (400 South Seventh Avenue).

We can help you safely dispose documents that might have personal information, such as Social Security, credit card, or bank account numbers. You can bring up to three boxes of paper to be securely shredded and recycled.

I had the opportunity to join Rep. Jacklyn Rusnock and Sen. Schwank on a panel for the Berks County Intermediate Unit's Legislative Breakfast. We were able to meet with all the superintendents of Berks County's schools to discuss budget priorities, state mandates, and how we can support our students and our schools' faculty and staff.

Technical careers are crucial for our regional and statewide development. I also had the opportunity to join Rep. Manny Guzman and several of my colleagues to tour Reading Muhlenberg Career & Technology Center to connect with education leaders and local officials to learn how we can improve the future and available resources for our students!

In addition, I was also able to meet with students at the Learning Academy at Thomas Ford, which is part of Reading School District and serves as an alternative school for students with behavioral issues to get back on track with their academic work. I had the chance to discuss my career as a businesswoman and legislator, how I reached this point, and how these future leaders can achieve their goals.

I look forward to supporting the needs of all students, regardless of what stage of their lives they are in.

It was an honor to join Appropriations Committee Chairman Jordan Harris and fellow leaders from throughout our community at the opening of Finanta Credit Union along Penn Street in Reading.

During my time as a small business owner, Finanta was the only one who took a chance with me. When everyone else said no, Finanta said yes.

Now, as a state legislator, I support the work Finanta does because they truly invest in the success of our community.

I look forward to supporting the impactful work they continue to provide for our region!

This week, I presented a citation alongside Rep. Rusnock to the children of the late Strat Marmarou.

When I served on the Reading City Council with Strat, I saw his leadership firsthand and how his strength, character and heart shaped the work he did for our community.

Strat will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and the legacy he has left behind will not be forgotten.
