Why I’m running

I'm excited to run for Town Council, motivated by my deep commitment and LOVE of our community and its future. With 15 years of small business experience, I understand the challenges and opportunities that shape our local economy. Being a small business owner i have valuable insights into economic development and community needs. As the chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee for the past five years, I've seen firsthand the importance of creating vibrant, safe spaces for all residents to enjoy. I've had the pleasure to work with the Four Hearts Foundation to help them get the new playground built on Turnpike Ave. I have worked with our parks and recreation directer and town officials to get pickleball courts in our town. My extensive volunteer work at community events reflects my dedication to fostering a sense of belonging and connection among our neighbors. I believe that together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant town that meets the needs of all its residents.

One Interesting Fact About Me

I own the Comedy Connection located in East Providence RI. The Comedy Connection has come along way since I took it over back in 2010. My club now hosts some of the biggest names in comedy and has put Rhode Island on the map as a destination for comics to preform at.
