I care deeply about making sure every neighbor feels heard and valued. I’m a good listener and a natural problem-solver, and I love bringing people together to find common ground. In my job as a Product Manager, I coordinate between different teams, engineers, designers, and customers; to figure out what people need and turn those ideas into real solutions. That same skill of listening, organizing, and getting things done is exactly what I’ll bring to the Board of Representatives.

I’m also a Stamford resident, first as a renter and now as a homeowner, so I’ve experienced the same challenges around housing costs, traffic, and city services that so many of us face. I want to use my skills and perspective to help make Stamford an even better place for all of us.

My top priority is housing affordability and neighborhood stability, and it should come as no surprise that this is my focus as this has been a perennial challenge for Stamford residents. In District 10, we need to expand housing options that are attainable for working families and individuals, while ensuring that new development respects the charm and character of the city that drew us here in the first place.

During this term, I would set a goal to work with city leaders, developers, and community members to identify opportunities for thoughtfully planned housing projects that meet the needs of our growing population, without sacrificing the qualities that make our neighborhoods special. I am committed to approaching this issue with both urgency and care, ensuring that Stamford continues to be a city where people can live, thrive, and build a future for themselves and their families.

Deciding where to add apartments and townhomes requires careful planning that balances housing needs with maintaining the character of our historic city. However, the mechanics of the 2035 plan are outside the purview of the Board of Representatives and lie with the planning and zoning functions of our city.

Affordable housing is a longstanding issue in Stamford, and addressing it requires both creative funding solutions and transparency. However, the operations of the city's Affordable Housing Trust are outside of the purview of the Board of Representatives.
