Today I was a keynote speaker and met with students during the 2026 Capt. Nathan Hale Middle School Career Day!
This was such a great opportunity to tell all the students about my responsibilities as a doctor, what a typical day looks like, and answer all their awesome questions about the medical field.
Student also met with many others to learn about their careers, such as Town of Coventry Fire EMS Fire Chief Meyers and Coventry, CT Police Department Officer Stebbins.
Thank you to all the staff at Coventry Public Schools for hosting me today.
I am grateful to be recognized by the Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST) with the Town Crier Award. COST is an organization that is dedicated to advocating for small towns.
Small towns are the backbone of Connecticut and the 35th Senate District, and I am proud to be an strong advocate for them in Hartford.
It was also great to stand with State Representative Tony Scott, who also received the same award. And I appreciate State Sen. Stephen Harding(the Senate Minority Leader) being there to support me.
