Bridget Puglielli

Hello Mass DECA! My name is Bridget Puglielli, and I am a student at Reading Memorial High School. I am a third-year DECA member and the President of my chapter, and I am honored to serve as one of your Team 68 Officers this year.

My passion for DECA began in my sophomore year as a competitor at the State Career Development Conference after achieving first place at my district competition. I was inspired by the energy of the conference, the dedication of the competitors, and the way DECA members carried themselves with confidence. That experience opened my eyes to what DECA really is: not just a competition, but a community built on connection, growth, and opportunity. 

Since then, DECA has become such an important part of my life. As a State Officer, my goal is to support and connect with members while helping create an experience that is meaningful for everyone. Whether this is your first year in DECA or your last, I hope to help make this a year filled with growth, success, and unforgettable memories.

Outside of DECA, I stay busy as a babysitter, a basketball and softball player, and I have been working at a local pizza restaurant for two years now. In my free time, I love spending time with my friends and family, reading a good book, and, of course, getting ice cream whenever I can. My favorite music artists are Megan Moroney,  Noah Kahan, and, of course, Taylor Swift. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Instagram at @deca.bridget. I would love to connect with you! Here’s to an amazing year ahead!
