Thank you for the opportunity to continue to represent Precinct 10. I have been a Brookline resident since 2007 and Town Meeting Member since 2020. My husband and I are parents to two Driscoll students and I have been the Driscoll PTO co-chair for the past 5 years. I also work for PSB in the BEEP program.
The reason I first ran for town meeting was to expand my involvement in keeping our schools strong. We need ensure we have fully funded public schools that protect educational quality for every student. I’m a strong advocate for a budget that support teachers, staff, and the essential programs that help students thrive. It’s equally important that we maintain our school facilities so they remain safe, modern, and conducive to learning.
My constituents most often reach out to me about addressing the affordable housing crisis. We need thoughtful solutions and better zoning laws that aim to create communities where people of all backgrounds can live, work, and thrive
Climate and sustainability is the other issue I hear most about. We will continue working on investing in better public transit, redesigning our streets so biking and walking are safe options, expanding green infrastructure wherever possible and working to protect our green canopy
I will try to evaluate and implement each of these priorities with a strong equity lens. That means intentionally addressing the racial and economic disparities that have long shaped access, opportunity, and outcomes in our community
I have called Brookline home for 17 years and served as a Town Meeting Member since 2018. I am committed to walkable neighborhoods, strong public schools, libraries, parks, public transit, and a community that cares for people of all ages. I will vote to advance racial and economic justice, expand affordable housing, address the climate crisis, improve street safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and strengthen services for older adults. I defend the rights of LGBTQ+ residents and access to comprehensive healthcare. I carefully evaluate warrant articles and support solutions that move our town forward. Parent of two Brookline Public School students, former Pierce Extended Day Board President, come say hi, I love getting to know my neighbors.
Housing affordability, strong public schools, immigrant protections, climate action, transportation options, and services for older adults: I support warrant articles that expand affordable and public housing, protect tenants, and deepen a diverse community. I am a strong YES on the override for excellent schools and town services, and support policies limiting ICE activity in Town facilities so residents can access services without fear. Climate action connects many issues: investing in sustainability, safe cycling infrastructure, walkability, and public transit reduces emissions while improving public health/safety. I commit to learning the details and impacts of warrant articles and bringing the values I share with neighbors into action.

I've lived in Brookline since 2014, and value the walkable neighborhoods, public
transportation, diverse culture, and public schools. I'm co-chair of the Griggs Park Neighborhood Association, and served as a Town Meeting Member in 2024-5. Housing availability and affordability is my top concern, but I'm also passionate about schools, small businesses, green spaces, bike lanes, and the arts. I'm a mom/stepmom to 6 young adults, the youngest still a BHS student. I'm a public health researcher by training, now working as a health policy consultant. For fun, I sing with Rock Voices Brookline, and with neighborhood band AntiqueRoadShow. I hope to return to serving the town thoughtfully as a P10 TMM.
Housing and budget/revenue are critical concerns of Town Meeting. We need more housing, at all price levels, to support a thriving community where people can live, work, study, and feel welcome and invested in their neighborhoods. As a TMM in 2024-5, I voted for measures encouraging the creation of more ADUs, as owner-occupied rentals are a great way of increasing housing stock, and meeting the needs of families over time. We also need - thoughtfully planned with community input - some larger developments including commercial space and multifamily buildings, which would help
increase town revenue, and address budget shortfalls. To improve fiscal planning and stability, I support modernization of Prop 2 1/2.

I’m 40-years-old, a professional artist, and resident of Brookline, MA, in Precinct 10 near Coolidge Corner. I earned an MA in Advertising and a BA in American Studies from The University of Texas at Austin and certificates in Studio Arts from MassArt and graduate Visual Arts from Harvard Extension School. I’m completing the Religions of the World graduate certificate at Harvard Extension School. My community service includes the MLK Celebration Committee, Progressive Brookline, Brookline Food Pantry, Brookline Senior Center, and Hebrew SeniorLife. I’m the Creative Director of True Mood Studio, my sole proprietorship. I was born and raised in Tennessee. I'm a member of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians.
I’m running for Town Meeting in Precinct 10 to improve our quality of life in Brookline, especially for groups burdened, and to take on budget problems. I propose a uniform reduction in spending and promote selected development. The latter can raise revenue for Brookline and create affordable housing. Zoning matters. Better finances will ensure our schools stay strong. I believe in human security without violating privacy, support the 2025 Climate Action & Resiliency Plan, and encourage alternative transportation.

I’ve lived in Brookline for 15 years with my family and also grew up here (Brookline High School and Baker School alum). I have three children in the Brookline public schools, with one entering BHS this fall, one at Pierce, and a little one who is a future Pierce kindergartener. I’m a biologist and data scientist, and my work focuses on using data and analysis to understand complex problems and support good decision-making. I'm endorsed by Brookline for Everyone and Progressive Brookline. I'm excited for the opportunity to represent my neighbors in Town Meeting.
Brookline should be a place where families, seniors, and people at a range of income levels can live and thrive. I support thoughtful, well-planned approaches that expand affordable housing options and creative development that strengthens our commercial tax base and supports local businesses. I am also a strong supporter of our public schools, including efforts to ensure all students are served equitably.
I believe it’s important that residents feel informed and connected to Town Meeting decisions. I want to hear from my neighbors and make it easier for people to have the information and access they need to be engaged in town policymaking.
