Family first. Community always. Ready to lead.
Family first. Community always. Ready to lead.
Pembroke is the people: kind, intelligent, and passionate neighbors who deserve a voice on the Select Board. I will listen, show up, and act for every single one of you.
I am the proud daughter of a Police Officer and a long line of teachers. In my family, civic responsibility wasn’t just a value; it was a way of life, passed down through generations. That foundation shaped everything I have become.
Over more than 25 years, I have built businesses, managed people and projects, and led teams through every challenge that comes with running an organization well. I am the wife of a municipal worker and the mother of a rambunctious 8-year-old, a family that lives and breathes public service every single day.
When our son turned four, my husband and I faced a choice: where would we raise him? We wanted a great school system, a warm and active community, and neighbors who look out for each other. Pembroke was the only choice for both of us, and every day since we’ve been affirmed in that decision. I am grateful and proud to be part of this community of kind, intelligent, and passionate neighbors and friends.
The people of Pembroke are what make this town great. I will speak with my neighbors and fellow board members, start real conversations, and truly listen. I will carry residents’ words, wants, needs, and concerns into every decision I make on the Select Board. All members of our community are valued, and their voices need to be heard. Good leadership doesn’t talk at people; it listens to them.
Your voice matters. I will carry it forward.I am passionate about Pembroke’s waterways and the natural environment that defines so much of what makes this town beautiful. I will work to ensure the Select Board remains environmentally aware, making decisions today that protect and preserve our waterways, green spaces, and natural resources for the generations who will call Pembroke home long after us.
Protect our waterways. Preserve our town.A thriving town is built on the people who show up every day to keep it running. I will work hand in hand with Pembroke’s first responders and teachers to build and sustain the strong infrastructure our community depends on, from public safety to schools, from roads to the services that support families at every stage of life. I am committed to being present for our children and to championing ideas that will shape their future.
Support those who serve. Invest in what lasts.I believe in fiscal responsibility: evaluating and considering all information before moving forward, never rushing, never cutting corners, and never spending without purpose. I am committed to working hard to ensure our town not only prospers but grows and thrives, so that the services and quality of life residents count on are there today, tomorrow, and for every family that calls Pembroke home in the years ahead.
Evaluate everything. Spend wisely. Build for the future.
