Why I'm Running for School Committee
Lexington's schools are strong. But strength isn't enough.
We are all invested in the success of Lexington’s schools.
Families, educators, and residents deserve to be heard—with mutual respect.
By listening carefully and partnering thoughtfully, we can make responsible decisions for our schools and our community.
I'm running because I've lived this. As a parent of two very different learners and a longtime member of education committees, I've seen both the excellence and the blind spots of our system. I believe every child deserves to be truly known: their strengths celebrated, their challenges met with real support, their potential unlocked through genuine partnership between families, educators, and community.
"I believe in schools where every student is seen, supported, and challenged—and in a community where people feel heard. I'm running to help strengthen trust, deepen communication, and ensure that our schools continue to reflect our shared values."

Hear students, parents, and educators before acting. Your child will be seen, heard, and known.

Data-Informed Efficiency
Tools and analytics ensure we use resources wisely and achieve measurable outcomes.
Accountability & Impact
Policies and budgets must deliver real results for students, families, and educators.
Respectful Debate
Diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes. I engage respectfully even when we disagree.
Results That Matter
Good intentions aren't enough. Every policy must deliver real, measurable impact for students and families.
