My journey to my candidacy for Town Planning has been deeply personal. In December 2020, my family and I lost our home to a fire. In the process of rebuilding, I gained a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of the planning process and the vital role it plays in the fabric of our community. This terrible experience ignited a passion within me to contribute meaningfully to the town's development.
Professionally, I've dedicated my career to understanding and working through complex problems, fostering innovation, and building connections and understanding. I've worked closely with transformative ventures, driving sustainable development and economic growth which will benefit our town and our residents. Priority #1 is the passage of Article 40.
