Fun Fact

When I’m not working or volunteering, you’ll probably find me out on our small farm in Leominster with my family. We keep goats, tend to our orchard, and harvest our own honey — all at our historic 1785 Kendall Tavern property. I love building and creating things, from woodworking and laser engraving to restoring old equipment. It’s a busy but rewarding life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Past Experience

I bring a mix of professional leadership, community service, and hands-on problem-solving experience that I believe represents what Leominster needs on the City Council. Professionally, I work in the biotech and life sciences industry, where I lead teams focused on technology innovation and process improvement. My background has taught me how to manage complex budgets, evaluate data to make sound decisions, and ensure projects deliver real results — skills directly applicable to city governance. Outside of work, I’ve served our community for many years through Scouting, youth programs, and local organizations. As President of the North Leominster Rod & Gun Club, I’ve led volunteer teams, managed facility improvements, and built partnerships that strengthen community engagement. I also chair the Range and Target Activities Committee for the Heart of New England Council, supporting safe and educational youth programs across Central Massachusetts. These experiences have shaped my belief that good leadership means listening first, working collaboratively, and always putting the interests of our residents and our city above politics.

My Top Issues

Increasing affordable housing options

Leominster needs more housing options that working families, young adults, and seniors can actually afford — but growth must be done responsibly. I support balanced development that includes affordable housing while carefully considering impacts on traffic, schools, and city services to keep our neighborhoods strong.

Community involvement in decision-making

Residents deserve to know how and why decisions are made in City Hall. I’ll work to make city government more open, accessible, and accountable — encouraging public input, sharing information clearly, and ensuring every resident has a voice in shaping Leominster’s future.

Invest in local public education

Our public schools are the foundation of Leominster’s future. I’ll support policies that give teachers the tools they need to help every student succeed — whether they’re college-bound or pursuing a skilled trade. We’re fortunate to have excellent programs at Leominster High and the Center for Technical Education Innovation, and I’ll advocate for continued investment in both academic and technical pathways that prepare students for real-world success.
