Learn a bit about what I view as top priorities, where I stand & how I would serve our community.

As a candidate for Town Council, my top priority is ensuring that Falmouth remains a place we are all proud to call home while navigating the inevitable realities of growth and change.

The Comprehensive Plan will serve as my roadmap for thoughtfully navigating this journey.

More specifically, I aim to safeguard our natural environment and preserve green spaces — while both maintaining & expanding centralized amenities and increasing affordable housing.

I support our strong schools and wonderful public library; and will ensure we uphold our high-quality fire and police departments.

My approach will strive to nurture residential diversity on multiple levels, including investing in services for youth and seniors, which is vital to supporting a thriving multigenerational community like Falmouth.

I am committed to investing in infrastructure, public health and safety, and fostering community engagement.

I support our town adopting new technologies, promoting cultural and recreational activities, and advancing sustainability practices and renewable energy use.

Using the Comprehensive Plan as the roadmap, I'll focus on six key areas:

1) Environmental Protection & Sustainability: I will advocate for conserving green spaces, protecting natural habitats, reducing waste, and advancing sustainability initiatives.

2) Preserving Residential Character: I will work to ensure new developments respect our neighborhoods' unique character while allowing for thoughtful growth.

3) Creating Vibrant Community Hubs: I will support developing dynamic town centers in mixed-use areas, fostering walkable communities that integrate living, working, and recreational spaces.

4) Enhancing Community & Lifelong Learning: I am dedicated to improving services and programs for all, supporting our schools, expanding resources for youth and seniors, and encouraging cultural and recreational activities that strengthen community bonds and promote lifelong learning.

5) Increasing Housing Diversity: I will advocate for a variety of housing options to enhance livability, focusing on affordable and workforce housing to meet our residents' diverse needs.

6) Upgrading Infrastructure: I will prioritize infrastructure improvements to enhance recreation, transportation, and connectivity; including road maintenance, expanding public transit, and ensuring safe paths for walking and biking.

By focusing on these areas, we can build a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient Falmouth. I want to work together to keep our town a safe and welcoming place.

With over 20 years in communications and stakeholder engagement, I've navigated transformative change while preserving core values, from advocacy groups to Fortune 500 companies. My career, advocacy work, and community service sharpened my collaboration, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, delivering impactful results.

Operating with empathy, I seek diverse perspectives and persevere with conviction. Thriving on mutual respect and productive dialogue, I navigate complex environments by fostering transparency and meaningful engagement.

Committed to honesty and humility, I continually seek insight, fostering trust and transparency. Effective communication is my cornerstone, vital for building relationships and addressing community concerns.

With a focus on collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and transparent communication, I'm dedicated to serving Falmouth with integrity. I aim to leverage my experience for an even more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient community.
