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. We must stop the construction of the Baldwin School. It is in a remote area of town. The school cannot function without an earlier start time. Studies show children benefit from later start times. The school proposal conflicts with town efforts to lead on the climate front. Baldwin cannot be net zero. The greenest square foot is the one you don't build on. Vehicles account for 40 percent of carbon emissions. It is irresponsible to build a commuter school. We should buy Newbury College immediately and move our schoolchildren onto that beaufiful and modern campus.

2. Former Reporter at Worcester Telegram & Gazette; Affiliated Faculty - Emerson College; UMass-Amherst Undergraduate degree in Journalism; Boston College Graduate degree in Administration; Town Meeting Member - 23 years; Member of Green Caucus and Brookline Greenspace Alliance; Founder - Worcester Chapter of the Providence Newspaper Guild union
