Candidate Statement

Hello! My name is Regina and I am running for an opening seat on the Hopkinton Board of Health. The decision behind running for this seat is to be able to effectuate equitable public health and safety decisions when it comes to the Hopkinton community. My main goals are to prioritize educators and elevate their role to that of essential employees as well as to improve and innovate Hopkinton’s Public Health and Safety, using my direct healthcare experience as a front line Speech Language Pathologist at a major hospital in Massachusetts and a current Physician Assistant student at the MGH Institute of Health Professionals. My latent goal is to add a fresh perspective on the Hopkinton community’s emergency preparedness and response to crises as well as to contribute to the overall diversity of the Hopkinton elected officials being an immigrant, a working mom and a woman of color. I welcome any questions or comments via this email or by phone (857) 654-0365. Feel free to reach out via facebook as well!

I was born and raised in Russia. I moved to the US at the age of 19 years old with my family. I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a Bachelor’s degree in English (Magna Cum Laude) and a Master’s Of Science in Education.  After working as an EMT for EMS in Boston and for Boston University’s compliance department, I went on to pursue a second Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology. Upon successful completion of this degree, I worked as a medical Speech Language Pathologist at MGH, Newton Wellesley and most currently at Emerson Hospital. Last year I was admitted in and began my third Master’s degree in Physician Assistant studies over at MGH Institute of Health Professions from which I should be graduating next spring. During the pandemic I have worked with respiratory COVID 19 patients as a speech therapist per diem at Emerson as well as completed my pulmonary rotation on the COVID 19 floor at MGH. It has been a trying time but it made me more resilient and gave me an opportunity to glean from this virus to understand the infection control and overall emergency preparedness protocols and processes in Massachusetts hospitals and communities.
