I am an experienced local leader and two-term mayor with a proven track record of fiscal responsibility, getting things done, and collaborative, consensus-based governance. I ran for Mountain Lakes Borough Council in 2016 and was re-elected in 2020. I am committed to broadening public outreach and communication, increasing civic participation, and putting people ahead of politics. My dedication to fiscal responsibility and collaborative approach is needed in Trenton to ensure that our political leaders work together for the common good of all New Jersey families. My successful history of infrastructure improvements combined with environmental protection will be pivotal as we move toward a greener state that prioritizes economic progress, responsible development, and sustainability. I graduated from Princeton University with a BA in Public & International Affairs and from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management with an MBA in Finance & Strategy. As a business management and strategy consultant with IBM Global Services and Booz Allen & Hamilton, I helped businesses and government agencies improve their performance and operations by finding solutions to complex problems. I am ready to bring my pragmatic, problem-solving approach to the state legislature and continue fighting to improve our state.
  • As a two-term mayor and experienced local leader, I have a proven track record of getting things done in a fiscally responsible way.
