I’m someone who believes in showing up, listening to neighbors, and rolling up my sleeves to get things done. My background leading creative teams has taught me how to pull people together, find common ground, and keep projects moving—even when the way forward isn’t obvious. I’ve partnered with local state agencies and worked on issues that hit close to home, including a mental health initiative I helped launch when I saw a real need in our community. I know Stamford is full of people with strong opinions and diverse experiences, and I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and respected. I’m not a career politician; I’m a problem-solver who’s committed to making life better right here in District 18, using practical solutions, common sense, and a genuine desire to help families and businesses thrive.

The single top priority issue is addressing community engagement and local quality of life in Stamford District 18.

The most important thing for me is making sure everyone in District 18 is genuinely heard and connected to what’s happening in their neighborhood. My top goal is to establish a straightforward, open channel for residents to share ideas and concerns—not just during elections, but throughout the year—so city leaders can effectively act on genuine feedback. I want to cut through the red tape and make it easy for people to be part of the conversation, and to see real improvements in things like Smart Growth–Not Overgrowth, Fiscal Transparency & Tax Relief, and Safe Streets–Stronger Neighborhoods. At the end of the day, this is about building trust and making life better for the folks who call Stamford home.

When it comes to big issues like development and affordable housing, I know my official role doesn’t give me the final say—but that doesn’t mean I sit on the sidelines. My job is to make sure District 18’s voices actually carry weight in every planning conversation. I pledge to speak up for transparency, ask tough questions, and work with all the different groups—and city departments—so any growth or new buildings truly serve the people living here, not just outside interests. If something’s going to change the character of our neighborhood or put extra stress on our schools and roads, I’ll make sure those concerns are front and center at City Hall. I believe growth should be thoughtful, balanced, and shaped by the real needs and values of our community.

I know that I don’t have the power to set where every dollar for affordable housing comes from—but I see my job as fighting for new ideas and pushing to get more resources on the table. I’ll work closely with city staff, nonprofits, and anyone else willing to help us think outside the box, whether that means new types of partnerships, grants, or creative funding solutions. I believe the whole process for managing these funds should be out in the open, with regular public updates, so neighbors know how decisions get made and who benefits. My focus is always on making sure our community has a real say, and that funds are used fairly, openly, and to truly meet local needs. This isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about trust, accountability, and making sure affordable housing works for the people it’s supposed to serve.
