Recipient, 2024 Erie Outstanding Resident Award

Welcome to my campaign! My goal is to work hard to unite Erie, as we are currently too polarized. In my view, there are 10-15% at the left and right extremes, with 70-80% of Town Residents willing to talk and come to consensus about what is best for the majority. While we may disagree on some issues, I promise to always listen with attention and respect.

I will also push for decision transparency. Too many decisions are made in private, and we need to ensure more community input than we have recently seen.

I am a recognized leader in the Community working on many Boards, volunteering at local events, bringing cultural offerings to Erie and the surrounding towns, and supporting area charities.

History in Erie

I moved to the Vista Ridge neighborhood Erie in 2011 from Massachusetts. When I decided to get married in 2015, we moved to Flatiron Meadows where we currently live. I retired in June of 2022 from a career in technology, and am now spending my time giving back to the Community; you can see my current activities on the Community Engagement page.

Advocacy

I am a strong advocate for our Community. I have been part of the “Habitat on the Hill” event each of the past three years where we lobby our Senators and Representatives of both parties for funding for housing. I was very pleased to see there is strong bipartisan support for affordable housing in both chambers this year. I have also advocated before all three of our County Commissioners, both collectively and individually to push for policies and funding that will benefit all of Erie.
