I am excited to be running to be your Ward 4 City Councilor. Here's a little bit more about me: 

- I live on High Street with my husband, a Newburyport native
- I serve on the [Human Rights Commission of Newburyport](https://www.cityofnewburyport.com/human-rights-commission) to support a welcoming and diverse community
- I work for a technology company where I am the VP of People and Business Operations
- I am the Treasurer of the Board of Directors for [Point Foundation](https://pointfoundation.org/) - the largest LGBTQ+ scholarship organization
- Outside of community service, I love traveling near and far, I enjoy cooking and going to local restaurants, and I also try to take a daily walk along the river or to Atkinson Common

So far, this campaign has been a wonderful opportunity to meet more of my neighbors and I look forward to adding you to that list over the coming weeks.

We live in such a vibrant and lovely city - one that I hope to serve more in the future in order to help move issues and initiatives forward together.
