Caribbean heritage, D.C. born, Baltimore home.
Regina was born in Washington, D.C. to Caribbean parents who emigrated to the United States from Jamaica and Barbados. She graduated as a scholar athlete from Woodlawn High School in 1994, and then attended Catonsville Community College where she played soccer and lacrosse.
In 1998, Regina received a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and Psychology from Towson University, and later returned to school to pursue her Masters in Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Baltimore.
Waverly activism and City Hall.
In 2004, Regina purchased a home in Waverly through the Live Where You Work program, solidifying her commitment to live in the city where she worked every day at the Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Athletics and Recreation. After purchasing her home, Regina immediately attended a Waverly neighborhood association meeting to learn more about her new community, and became a board member and officer within her first year of membership. She quickly solidified herself as an active community member, volunteering on the Y’s community-built playground project, coordinating community clean-ups and events, beginning community safety walks, and restarting the quarterly association newsletter.
But Regina wasn’t done there. She continued to work closely with community organizations, faith partners and elected officials to advocate for promised funding to construct and expand the Waverly Elementary/Middle School, as well as work to build stronger school curriculum. To enhance her leadership abilities, Regina received training and attended workshops on housing code violations, community organizing and outreach, emergency response, gang activity, and community mediation. Interested in continuing her community advocacy, Regina joined the Waverly Main Street Board of Directors in 2009, later became president, and continued working tirelessly with the board to educate and promote the Greenmount shopping district to the surrounding communities. She worked to support current businesses, bring in new businesses, and fight nuisance businesses and liquor establishments in the District. In 2015, Regina and her Waverly neighbors rallied their community to declare to Baltimore City Government that “crime is a public health crisis” after two children were shot on her street, one fatally, within a year and a half of one another.
From 2010 to 2015, Regina worked for the City of Baltimore in the Office of the City Council President as a Community Liaison. In this role, Regina represented the City Council President in the Northeast communities, and strengthened her leadership and advocacy abilities. From 2015 to 2019, Regina worked for Strong City Baltimore as the Director of the Adult Learning Center, where she connected the dots between adult education and Baltimore City’s most pressing challenges.
Your neighbor.
After 20+ years in Baltimore, Regina LOVES city life and all that District 43A has to offer! She spends time year-round at the Saturday morning 32nd Street Farmers Market, enjoying strong coffee, decadent pies, fresh vegetables, dangerously sinful biscuits and fragrant oils. She rides her bike in the spring, summer and fall to Lake Montebello, Druid Lake Park, on the Baltimore Bike Party outings, to the City Pools, and to Friday evening dance outings and social events with friends.
Regina doesn’t miss the opportunity to enjoy events across the City and in her community. She loves the sounds of reggae and soca at the annual Baltimore Washington Caribbean One Carnival Festival in Clifton Park, and she attends the Baltimore Book Festival in Waverly each fall. Regina loves to eat, and makes her way around the district with family and friends to the many restaurants and carry-outs on Greenmount, St. Paul, York Road, Harford Road, North Avenue and the Avenue in Hampden.
There is so much to do in District 43A, and Regina loves all of it. She hopes to see you out and about in the district!
