Precinct 4

Town Meeting appeals to me because it covers everything from zoning to schools to the Charter. Reading the town warrant provides a comprehensive education that I don’t get just from watching Select Board, School Comm., Finance Comm., Zoning Board, Community Planning and Dev., Conservation Comm., or even serving on the RMLD Board of Commissioners- and I do watch them. Town Meeting is as diverse as the number of residents who attend and I appreciate the opportunity to participate if elected.

I moved to Reading 19 yrs ago and raised my family here. I am so grateful that my children were able to grow up in this town that I love and now call home. As a TMM my main goals are to make certain that every person feels valued and represented in our community and I want to ensure that Reading is able to grow through productive spending and smart growth and development.

I care about Reading's future as a resident & parent of 3 children in our public schools. I served as a Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member from 2015-2021 (Chair in 2020-2021) and in Precinct 4 from 2022-2023 (Chair). Along with our Town Moderator and other Town Meeting Members, I helped create “Town Meeting 101” (a virtual/in-person training). I volunteer in our schools and serve on the Alumni Board at my alma mater. I run a public speaking club for women & am a lawyer by background.

I’m an LICSW—I counsel seniors with developmental disabilities. I’m a mom of a JE 4th grader and 3-year-old. I’ve volunteered as a room parent and done everything I can to support school staff as they’ve kept our kids educated and enlightened in challenging times. We support our public library and the local businesses which are making Reading a more accepting and inclusive place. I seek the chance to help work toward the brightest future for our neighborhood and Reading as a Town Meeting member.

My husband and I have lived in Reading since 2003. We have 3 teens in public schools. I have volunteered extensively at the schools and on the Conservation Commission over the past 15 years and am passionate about striking the right balance between town needs and environmental protection. I am a professional geologists working at a local engineering company, evaluating and solving problems at hazardous waste sites. I welcome honest discourse respectful debate. Thank you

I am an 8 year member of Town Meeting. I am running to continue working with Town Meeting to improve the lives of all residents. My priorities on Town Meeting are: 1) Maintain our strong fiscal position; 2) Help support and improve RPS; 3) Encourage non-residential tax base growth; 4) Conserve open space and forests; and 5) Improve Reading’s efforts on inclusion and social justice. I broadly support the Killam school and Senior Center projects. Professionally, I have a background in finance.
