Background
-
A dedicated mom of five, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 Companies and other businesses, I bring both real-life perspecitve and strategic expertise to our schools. I understand what students and families need because I live it every day. I know how to solve complex problems, make difficult budget trade-offs, and produce results over time. I am running for Needham School Committee to ensure every student thrives, every voice is heard, and every decision is made in service of our vision. Together, we will build schools that prepare our children to thrive.
Working Mom
-
I work full-time and raise 5 children under the age of 10. Yes, it is a lot! And I am lucky to have this opportunity. Even when it feels hard. It's forced me to see life differently, and I'm grateful for that.
Community Experience
Active in the Needham community through volunteering at Eliot, supporting fundraising efforts, and serving as a Room Parent. I coach sports and art, both as a cheerleader and the leader of a team. I attend school events, community gatherings, and invite grades and schools to our own home for parties. I am focused on helping schools and families stay connected.
Relationship Expert
-
I've managed the complexities of relationships, and understand the skills that promote growth, and the patterns to spot that erode trust. I believe our ability to grow is directly correlated to our sense of belonging through relationships.
Public Service
Served as an elected Needham Town Meeting Member for five years, organized voters around the MBTA Zoning Special Election, and early door knocker for train horn issue.
