For more than twenty years, I have proudly called Wawayanda home. During my thirty-five-year career as a mathematics educator, I earned the respect of students, parents, and colleagues through hard work, fairness, honesty and attention to detail. Teaching requires patience, organization, careful recordkeeping and the ability to solve problems while working with people from many different backgrounds. Those experiences have prepared me well for public service.
Like many residents, I chose Wawayanda because of its peaceful rural setting, strong sense of community and high quality of life. I value the town’s farmland, neighborhoods, local businesses, parks and the traditions that have shaped the community for generations.
Although I never expected to run for public office, I became increasingly involved in local issues after learning about proposals for significant industrial development and hearing concerns from fellow residents about communication and transparency in local government. I believe residents deserve a government that keeps them informed and encourages meaningful public participation in decisions affecting the future of the town.
As Town Clerk, I am committed to serving every resident with professionalism, fairness and respect. I believe the office should provide excellent customer service, maintain accurate public records, improve access to information and ensure that government remains open and accountable.
My campaign is built on a simple belief: the Town Clerk’s Office should always put residents first.
