I'm a born & raised New Englander with a bachelor's degree in business from Northeastern University in Boston. While there, I found a passion working with people, & spent my time outside of class working as an orientation leader, resident assistant, senior resident assistant, & tour guide.

I started my professional career during the Great Recession selling & servicing outdoor furniture orders for an online retailer, now known as Wayfair. I then moved back to my hometown in rural Western Massachusetts & found work in customer service in the property & casualty insurance industry at Liberty Mutual Insurance. I was quickly promoted to senior & specialist roles, and ultimately to people leadership. I later made a career change within the company & started working in information technology.

I now have an eight year background in business/systems analysis & two years of experience as a client-centric product management professional, now working for a group benefits insurance company. I have a proven ability to align business needs & technical capabilities to deliver high-quality digital software solutions. I'm a strong collaborator known for excellent written & verbal communication skills, & I'm a detail-oriented individual contributor with a record of producing timely, high quality outputs.

Outside of work, I'm active in local & state politics & care deeply about democracy and human rights. I am currently serving my second term as a city councilor for the City of Dover, New Hampshire. In my first term I successfully passed a resolution denouncing hatred and declaring our city a welcoming community after a hate-group was found recruiting in our city. I later passed a resolution reaffirming our commitment to the 1st Amendment & prohibiting the use of city resources for the purpose of banning books. I also made a motion that resulted in the passage of a fully funded public school budget. In my second term I passed a resolution to initiate the process for allowing "green" burials to take place in the city cemetery, & am working on resolutions to guarantee the city use native plant species in its landscaping practices, & to advance the use of renewable energy in city-owned properties. 

I am a member of the Dover Democratic Committee where I served as treasurer & chair of the organization's finance & fundraising committee from 2021 - 2023, gaining valuable skills in budgeting, campaign finance reporting, & fundraising, successfully doubling donation revenue year over year. I now lead the organization as co-chair with responsibilities for co-developing & executing the strategic vision and goals, and leading the executive committee. I also serve as an active member of many of the organization's standing committees, including 'candidate recruitment & campaign,' 'finance & fundraising,' 'operations & technology,' & 'programs & events.' In April 2023, I was elected as the local committee chairperson to represent Strafford County on the New Hampshire Democratic Party's State Committee, ensuring local committees have a voice in state committee decisions. I also served on the executive board of the New Hampshire Stonewall Democrats, helping to recruit and elect LGBTQ+ Democrats, & advocating for legislation that protects & advances the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

In January 2024, I was accepted into the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition's Next Gen Global Leaders Network Class of 2024. As part of this network of bipartisan leaders from across the country, I work to promote U.S. global leadership in the areas of diplomacy and development as a means for ensuring U.S. prosperity and national security. The program is geared at developing our skills in advocacy, communications, & the federal budgeting process.

Outside of politics, I serve on the board of directors for Community Action Partnership of Strafford County, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that assists community members in need with food, education, childcare, utilities, transportation, housing, emergency shelter, & access to other services. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking, running, learning languages, traveling & spending quality time with friends and family.
