Fourteenth District

I was born in Maine, but raised in small towns across Massachusetts. I consider myself to be a child of New England rather than of any one state. But my father and I have very deep roots in Maine, and we discovered in 2024 that we are descendants of the original Wing family through Stephen Wing. My defining character trait is my love for France. Everyone I have come into contact with will be able to tell you how much I love this country. I fell in love with the language and the culture when I was about 16 or 17 and devoted much of my free time to mastering the language. When it came time to go to college, my natural next step was to apply to universities in France. So, in 2021, after taking a couple years to save enough money to live on my own abroad, I got on a one-way flight to France. I got my bachelors degree in management, economics, and law from the University of Saint-Étienne in 2024. That same summer, I was accepted into a graduate program at Paris-Saclay University. I live now just outside of Paris in a charming little suburb surrounded by parks and castles.. My masters program is in strategy and international management, and I expect to graduate in May of 2026. I also enjoy writing, studying the history of Western Europe and of the Americas, and taking pictures.. and have found so much inspiration while backpacking across Europe. In 2023 I participated in a study-abroad program (while already abroad!) and spent 6 months living in Slovakia’s capital city Bratislava. And since that trip I have visited many of the countries in Europe, from Ireland to Germany, Spain to Hungary, and everything in between. And I’ll be celebrating my 24th birthday in South Korea later this summer, truly an international student if there ever was one! I look forward to serving the family from abroad, adding my own personal touch to this office.. and turning my district members into lifelong friends!
