Our potential, realized.

Why am I running for Westwood School Committee?

Learn about my vision

As a Westwood School Committee member, I will work for a system that educates the whole child, ensures that every child feels a sense of belonging and is taught to their fullest potential, building for the future while sustaining our academic excellence today.

New(ish) kid in town

In 2018, like so many families before and since, we moved to Westwood for its excellent schools. I’m proud of the education my two boys are receiving at Downey and Thurston and I’m excited to introduce myself and share a bit more about why I’m running for School Committee.

May I introduce myself?

Why I’m qualified for School Committee

A thoughtful, inquisitive listener. An agile, collaborative leader. I have more than 20 years of communications expertise in higher education at both Harvard and MIT. And I know what the next generation needs to compete and succeed after graduation. I’m passionate about public education and have a proven track record of community engagement.
