Candidate statement

I’m running to be more involved with the strategic planning for the future of the town, to provide greater visibility to residents about any upcoming major decision points, and to respectfully collaborate with Lynnfield residents and the many other volunteer boards in town to improve and strengthen our community.​

​

Having been a former member of the Lynnfield Finance Committee and current member of the Board of Library Trustees, I have a good working knowledge of the town process for decision making and managing finances.  I’ve seen how Lynnfield’s many volunteers selflessly contribute personal time, skill, and effort for the benefit of fellow residents, and how a lack of collaboration, communication, and transparency can cause division and make residents feel like their needs aren’t being heard or addressed.  

 

Lynnfield is my family’s home, and I enjoy working with other Lynnfield residents to collectively benefit our community.​
