BRINGING EXPERIENCE TO CITY COUNCIL
WHERE I COME FROM
As a lifelong advocate, healthcare leader, and proud community member, I’ve spent my career supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. Now, I’m ready to bring that same compassion, determination, and experience to the City Council. I’m running for City Council At Large because I believe in a Methuen where every voice matters—especially those who often go unheard.
A THRIVING CAREER
I have over two decades of experience in human services, program development, and community organizing. I know how to build partnerships, listen deeply, and take action. Whether it’s advocating for inclusive services, empowering our youth, or uplifting local voices, I’m here to make sure Methuen continues to grow—with equity, empathy, and accountability at the center. This campaign isn’t just about me—it’s about us. Let’s build a stronger Methuen together.
​
​Join me in this journey to create a better future for Methuen. Together, we can address the challenges, celebrate the strengths, and work towards a more inclusive and prosperous community.
