*Re-Election 2023*
ABOUT ME
In the 30 years we have lived here, Newton has given us much: a wonderful community of friends and neighbors, excellent schooling for our two daughters, a library that continues to inspire curiosity, great parks and open spaces, and easy access by foot, bike, transit and car.
I wish to continue to give back to Newton and improve life here for you and your family.
My professional background is as a community journalist and since 2012, I serve as director of the Wastewater Advisory Committee to the MWRA.
As chair of the council's Public Safety and Transportation committee, I have advanced safer streets and encouraged the efforts of our police and fire chiefs to build positive connections and create better outcomes for our residents.
