As Co-Founder of the Aaron Zenus Foundation, I am deeply committed to expanding opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. With over 25 years of service to the Town of Milford, I have dedicated my career to fostering inclusive communities through my roles as the Local Program Coordinator for Milford Special Olympics and the Transition and Vocational Coordinator for Milford Public Schools.

As an educator and advocate, I am passionate about empowering individuals of all abilities by providing the tools, resources, and support they need to succeed and thrive. I believe strongly in creating pathways that not only promote independence but also cultivate leadership, confidence, and meaningful community engagement.

My work focuses on increasing access to social, recreational, and vocational programming, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential and become a valued leader within their community.

I was born and raised in Bay Shore, New York,  After graduating from SUNY Oneonta and living in 3 different states, my late husband Fred and I moved to Milford in 1979 where we raised 2 sons.  Our youngest son Brian was born with a rare genetic disorder, called Trisomy 9.  He is globally delayed and medically fragile.  For 43 years I have advocated for individuals with special needs.  I taught Inclusion Pre-K for Milford Public Schools for 25 years, served on various state and local committees, and coordinated a Multi-Sensory Ecumenical Church Service at the Milford United Methodist Church.  Currently I serve as a member of the DDS South Valley Citizens Advisory Board.  I look forward to continuing my journey advocating for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the Aaron Zenus Foundation.

I was born and raised in Milford and a graduate of Milford High School and the University of Massachusetts Lowell,  I moved around after graduating and lived in a couple other towns in MA and spent a few years living in Arizona.  I found my way back to Milford in 2013 and have since been volunteering my time in local organizations like Parents for Music, MHS After Prom Committee and the Aaron Zenus Foundation.  I live in Milford with my wife Loriann, we have 3 boys and 2 dogs.

I love my work at Sweet Inspirations. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Aaron Zenus Foundation. In addition to my Sweet Inspirations job, I work for Milford Special Olympics as an administrative assistant, and I also work at the Milford High School Café serving lunches.
In my spare time, I play a variety of sports for Milford Special Olympics. In 2019, I was selected as one of twelve athletes to play in the Special Olympics NBA Cares Unified Basketball Game during All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2022, I was part of the Special Olympics Massachusetts National Games Team. For fun, I enjoy shooting hoops in my backyard with family and friends.

Since 2019, I have proudly served the students and families of Milford Public Schools as a special educator. In 2024, I took on the roles of Special Education Team Chair and Transition Coordinator, where I support students, families, and staff in planning meaningful educational experiences and post-secondary pathways.

In addition to my work in the schools, I serve as the Local Program Coordinator for Milford Special Olympics, a role in which I create inclusive athletic opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through this role, I am committed to ensuring that athletes have access to programs that foster confidence, teamwork, and community connection.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Westfield State University and my Master’s degree in Special Education from Worcester State University.

I am grateful to be a part of the Aaron Zenus Foundation team. My passion is creating inclusive opportunities where individuals of all abilities feel empowered and supported. I am committed to connecting families with meaningful resources, fostering strong community partnerships, and helping individuals build confidence, independence, and lasting connections. It is truly rewarding to support individuals and families in our local community.

I was born and raised on the South Shore in North Quincy and have lived in Foxboro for the past 32 years with my wife and three children. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Bentley University and an MBA from Suffolk University. I recently retired from MFS Investment Management after a 37-year career. During my time at MFS, I held various senior financial roles, with the last 18 as the Chief Human Resources Officer. In this role I supported many managers and employees with a variety of needs.

Having a son on the Autism Spectrum has amplified, for me, the importance of acceptance, respect and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Advocating and supporting community programs that provide opportunities for individuals with special needs has become a passion and I am honored to be part of the Aaron Zenus Foundation. This work is making a profound difference for individuals that need additional support to live, happy and fulfilled lives.
