Biography

2019 League of Women Voters' Guide

Question 1: What are the one or two most critical issues in your precinct and/or the Town and how would you address them?
Question 2: Biographical data.

1. I know very well that every decision has a tradeoff and know the importance of being the voice of my constituency. I would be available to listen and understand the concerns of my precinct and lobby for them in Town Meeting. My profession has made me a good listener.

Personally I'm concerned about climate change, bicycle and pedestrian safety, affordable housing, and school diversity. I've worked on several Brookline green energy efforts. I've participated in public hearings for bicyclist and pedestrian safety. I'm interested in furthering the economic vitality of Coolidge Corner and believe it's important to bring economic and racial diversity to our citizenry. As a town meeting member I want my vote to count towards a more prosperous, economic and environmental community.

2. Brookline resident for 25 years. Psychiatrist in private practice. Mother of three daughters, all of whom attend(ed) Brookline public schools. Member Mothers Out Front.
