Why I'm Running

I grew up in Wellesley’s forests and open spaces. As a kid living near Morse’s Pond, the pond, the woods, and the North 40 were special places to explore and roam free. I was fortunate enough to get a great education in the Wellesley Public Schools, have the opportunity to go to college and law school, and recently to start practicing as a municipal attorney. In between, I have been involved in Town government in various capacities, including chairing the School Committee and Playing Fields Task Force, serving as vice chair of the Sustainable Energy Committee, and as a 10-year Town Meeting Member. I was also a member of the committees that oversaw the building of the new sports center at 900 Worcester Street and developed the Town’s Unified Plan. On election days, you’ll often see me at Precinct A as a poll worker. I have been lucky to get to know the Town and its government from many angles, and hope to leverage that perspective and my legal training to contribute to the preservation of Wellesley’s remaining forestland.
