I'm an educator, parent, and husband who has dedicated most of my life to public service. 

​

I have taught for over 8 years, 6 of which were at Somersworth Middle School teaching science. I am proud to have been a member of the team that won Somersworth Middle School the award for NH Middle School of the Year in 2019. I also have used my expertise in science education to collaborate and work with other Seacoast science educators to develop a science resource library for NH science teachers. 

​

I am a tireless advocate for the Somersworth public schools and believe that our schools, students, and educators are the city's most valuable set of assets.

​

Since joining the Somersworth City Council in 2019 I have worked to guide the city through the COVID-19 pandemic, ensured safe and secure elections, and been an advocate for sustainable practices, housing within the city, and our downtown businesses. I have also approved the construction of a new fire station, helped break-ground on the Somersworth Veteran's Memorial Park, spearheaded efforts to develop the soon-to-be Ash Street Pollinator Garden, and committed the city to road, sidewalk, and green-space projects that will improve the accessibility and health of our community. I am also proud to have secured a food composting program at the city's public works building, available to all Somersworth residents, which will help to keep our community green. 

​

Through my work on the Historic District Commission and the Economic Development Committee I have shepherded new projects, businesses, and development into Somersworth, all while maintaining the charm and historic character of the city. I helped design and purchase new cultural banners, as well as historic plaques and way-finding signs that all enhance our downtown. 

​

My husband and I are foster parents to a very cool teenager who loves hanging with our cat and new dog. In my spare time I love to paint, garden, beautify my community, and walk through Somersworth's many public parks and trails with my family.
