I love being the Wellesley Town Clerk. I bring 6 years of doing the job. I have over 20 years of leadership experience in Wellesley Town Government and Non-profits. Before Wellesley, I worked in the private sector in Strategic Planning, Project Management, Marketing and Communications. With my experience, I have led the transformation on how we do elections in response to COVID and the 2022 VOTES Act. I would like to continue the progress the office has made.

My top elections priorities are to increase accessibility to voters and to run safe, secure and organized elections. My other priorities are to continue improving upon Town Meeting operations and communications and to provide excellent customer service to all residents in our areas of responsibility and as an information center.
