What drove you to seek public office?
I’m running because I believe Marlboro deserves leaders who focus on solutions. My motivation comes from serving the families, friends, neighbors and small business owners who make this town what it is. As a mom, community volunteer, and business advocate, I’ve seen firsthand that real progress comes from working together, staying transparent, and thinking independently. That’s exactly what I want to bring to our town’s future.

What sets you apart from other candidates?
I’m a connector and a doer. I bring people together and turn ideas into action. With over 20 years in finance and business leadership, including more than a decade at major rating agencies, I know what it takes to maintain Marlboro’s AAA rating and fiscal strength.

As EDC Chair, I’ve led a volunteer team that elevated 100+ Marlboro businesses, launching networking events, creating the Business Chat Group, connecting businesses with state grants, and founding the inaugural Marlboro Restaurant Week that not only improved local restaurants’ sales up to 60%, it invigorated Marlboro residents to rediscover its local culinary excellence and come out to be part of something bigger.

I don’t just talk about progress, I make it happen.

What are past accomplishments or experiences that make you qualified for this position?
My background in credit and business strategy means I know how to solve complex challenges, manage budgets, and deliver results. I’ve helped companies scale and access capital, driven growth, and built strong partnerships between Marlboro’s businesses, schools and families.

I understand the numbers and the people behind what keeps our town thriving.

If elected, what will be your top priorities in your new role?

• Support local businesses and keep dollars in town
• Provide transparent, responsive leadership with regular updates
• Strengthen community through events and programs that bring us together
• Protect Marlboro’s character through balanced and thoughtful development

Name one thing about Marlboro that always makes you smile.
Our sense of community. From families helping neighbors to businesses and volunteers stepping up for good causes, Marlboro’s spirit of connection always makes me proud to call it home.
