I’m a marketing and communications professional, specializing in human-centered design that enhances understanding and levels the playing field. I’m also a mom of two young boys, one of whom will begin attending Shaker Lane this fall.
I grew up in Littleton. I attended all four public schools (including the oft-maligned Jr. Sr. High School). I received financial aid from the Littleton Scholarship Trust to attend Northeastern University where I graduated summa cum laude, earning a BFA in Graphic Design. I consider returning to town to raise my own family here one of the most fortunate things to happen in my life.
I led the YES for Littleton Ballot Question Committee in support of the Shaker Lane School Building Project. The project—the most expensive brought before voters in Littleton’s history—was in danger of getting lost in its own complexity. The YES for Littleton campaign hit the ground running and committee members could be found advocating at meetings and events throughout town.
The results speak for themselves: we had an overwhelming majority YES vote this fall, both at Special Town Meeting and at the polls. Our success came from communicating about this complex topic clearly and accurately, eliciting feedback, and actively engaging with the people of Littleton to ensure voter readiness.
If elected to Littleton School Committee this May, I promise to continue the mission of YES for Littleton within our town government. I will secure the seat at the table that was promised to Shaker Lane project stakeholders. I will work to improve townwide communications, to remove barriers that may be keeping Littletonians from getting involved in the workings of their town. I will work to celebrate and amplify all of the good happening at each of Littleton’s four schools (many of these successes are unknown to the greater Littleton community). Our students also deserve a voice in their own education. I’m interested in exploring ways in which students of all ages can more directly shape their own futures in Littleton.
I am currently a member of the Littleton Superintendent Search Committee, with the goal of aiding the School Committee in the hiring of a new Superintendent before the 2026–2027 school year.
Education is changing rapidly. School Committee meetings can be long and often contain an amazing amount of information. The average Littleton resident may not be able to attend a meeting or watch it on LCTV, so it’s vital that we find a solution that effectively brings these wins to public notice. As a member of School Committee, I plan on joining the newly-formed Communications Subcommittee to explore this issue.
