I bring our Preti Strategies clients the advantage of nineteen years' experience in Massachusetts state government. Nine of those years I served as Chief of Staff to Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and for five years I was Chief of Staff to the House Committee on Ways and Means. My high level access gave me the unique experience of being directly involved in negotiations on all policy decisions that came before the House. By "being in the room where it happened" for most of my time in public service, I know what questions are asked, what political considerations are measured, and what information is sought by elected and appointed officials at every level. I use this knowledge and experience to develop positioning strategies and narratives that advance our clients' interests with decision-makers across state government.

Our entire Preti Strategies team is made up of government "insiders" who have served many years as elected or administration officials or senior level advisors. Together, we have extensive knowledge and an extensive network of connections. We've spent our careers in government and public affairs, and we love putting our experience to work for our clients to help shape policy and advance important business interests.

I bring our Preti Strategies clients more than 20 years of policy and legislative experience in Massachusetts. Over the last several years, I have represented many clients across a range of business sectors before various state agencies and the Legislature. Before entering into private practice, I served in a variety of senior leadership positions. My last role with the state was serving as Chief of Staff at the MBTA, helping to lead the $1.7B agency. I also served as the Chief of Staff for the Massachusetts Highway Department, Legislative Director for MassDOT and as the Chief of Staff and Legislative Director for the Assistant Minority Leader in the Senate for five years. This high-level access in these many senior leadership positions have provided me the unique experience of understanding budgets, procurement, political considerations and just generally how decisions get made in a variety of environments. I leverage these attributes, along with a wide network of contacts, to help clients achieve their desired results.
