Professionally, I have a strong project management background and experience in media/communications roles across multiple platforms. Although I do work and have worked in various sectors, I mention communications specifically, because I believe in community engagement and policy reform to create meaningful change. I have also always been attracted to the idea of being able to do something that I find personally fulfilling while also using that to help others, along with the concept that good people have a duty to get involved in their community in an effort to give back (when they can) which is part of what recently led me to become an adjunct instructor for University of the People, as well as with Queens College of Theology, where I instruct for a variety of courses.

As far as past political experience, serving on the NK School Committee was an absolute honor and privilege, as well as a huge learning experience for me.

Locally, I have served on the Narragansett Historical Cemetery Committee since 2022.
  • Economic development - I’m committed to supporting local businesses which would involve working openly and collaboratively with local entrepreneurs to enhance the town’s economic landscape, while preserving its unique character
  • Public Health - I believe in the importance of communitywide programs that promote mental health, substance abuse prevention, and overall public health.
  • Defending Property Rights - Many home owners I’ve spoken with are already struggling with a heavy tax burden, or in the current economy, in general, so the option to offer a rental helps their financial security and aids in the opportunity to remain a Narragansett resident.
My boss said “dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.” So I went in as Batman.
