I have lived in Troy for over 20 years, and this city has shaped who I am—a mother, a small business co-owner, a devoted community member, and a proud advocate for positive change. As the Manager, Administration and Finance for the Upper Hudson Library System, I oversee budgeting, accounting and financial reporting. I will bring this strong financial expertise to City Hall, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and always in the best interest of the community. Over the past two years, I have worked to hold the city accountable for improving Troy’s infrastructure, particularly by advocating for clean drinking water for all residents. This work has reinforced my belief in the power of focused, persistent advocacy—and what we can achieve when we work together for the common good.
- Fiscal responsibility with open, transparent governance - Safe, clean drinking water for all residents (in a timely manner!) - Green spaces, specifically Kinloch Park in District 5
I'm diligently campaigning to represent the working families of D5, committed to preserving the Working Families Party (WFP) line for its intended purpose. My focus remains on advocating for our community's needs, ensuring the WFP line truly serves its base, despite attempts to disrupt its integrity.
