Hope she's not as corrupt and dishonest as many of those other clowns at 797 Westminster Street are...maybe she'll clean house.

The only way this district will move anywhere is if they start at the top and get rid of as many people as possible in 797. End the favoritism and nepotism.

She is also a Broad Institute graduate, as were Brady, Melody Johnson, Dianna Lam and the big honcho Gist! Not sure this is a good thing for Providence right now
