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. Precinct 3's Lawrence School has been strained by school enrollment growth even after an addition on Newel Rd. It is crucial that we pass Q.1 and move forward with the Driscoll expansion and a new school at Baldwin to finally provide room in the system to right-size Lawrence. I also continue to worry about affordability in our neighborhood and the Town as market-rate developments and $2-million condos make Brookline unaffordable for working families and seniors. I strongly supported the Lawrence Neighborhood Conservation District to prevent overbuilding, but we need to do more - from senior property tax relief to public-private housing collaborations to ensure affordability for families, younger singles, and seniors across the income spectrum.

2. TMM since 2002; School Committee Member 2005-2016, Chair 2010-2012 Non-Profit career focused on women, children, families AB Harvard, MPA Princeton; Proud mom of 2 Lawrence and BHS graduates
