A native of Brockton, I graduated from Northeastern University (NU) with a degree in Political Science. During my time at NU I participated in the co-operative working program which led to my first job as the Government Affairs Specialist at MassDevelopment, the states Economic Development Agency. I was selected by the CEO & the Director of Government Affairs to manage a team of ten Town Administrators overseeing the development of a regional procurement program. I also had the unique opportunity to travel throughout our Commonwealth to meet with elected officials, business leaders, and other governmental organizations with the goal of strengthening our economic vitality.

​

During my time working for the Commonwealth, I also co-founded Strike Out Cancer, an all volunteer non-profit organization that provides patient aide to those fighting cancer. Strike Out Cancer is the family member, the friend, the neighbor to dozens of people living with cancer.  We are there with our arm around people when they need transportation to treatment, lodging because they are travelling far from home for medical care, medication not covered by health insurance or a ticket to a ballgame, dinner or a movie.



​As a student at Northeastern University, a majority of my studies focused on environmental policy – specifically the remediation of “Brownfields to Brightfields.” Over a seven year period, I was fortunate to study the development of the “Brockton Brightfield” as a student and later contribute to the projects development working for both MassDevelopment and later Landerholm Electric the company responsible for its construction, operation, and maintenance.



My time with Landerholm Electric was an invaluable experience as I served multiple roles ranging from estimating and project management to operations, marketing, and business development. During this time I also served as President of a boutique Solar Development firm whose principle ownership assisted with the development of the Brockton Brightfield. In 2010, I was invited to join a small group of business leaders from around the country to meet with elected officials and staff regarding energy policy in Washington D.C. The delegation emphasized the importance of comprehensive clean energy legislation to create jobs, unleash investment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and improve energy efficiency.



In 2011, I joined Siemens as an Energy Executive in a role that allows me to serve both State and Municipal Government as well as Universities, Schools, & Hospitals throughout the Northeast. 



I'm confident my experience in both the private/public sector will bring value to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator, and all those in our community that have guided our town in a positive direction. As with any effective organization, communication is the key to success and we must continue listen to one another, respect one another, and work together to develop common sense approaches to the challenges we face.
