I’ve spent over a decade caring for patients as a family doctor in Swampscott, from newborns to seniors. I’ve seen how access to primary care, vaccines, therapy, healthy food, and a strong community can truly change lives—and I want to bring that same focus to Marblehead.

Now, I’m ready to serve on the Board of Health to help make our town even healthier, safer, and more connected.

My Priorities:

• Clear, Trustworthy Health Info: In a time of misinformation, I’ll be a steady, science-based voice to help our community stay informed and confident in public health.

• Support for Families: I’m excited to work with Dr. Thomas Massaro on the CALM Initiative in partnership with UMass to better understand our local needs and expand programs for families.

• Stronger Mental Health Services: I fully support the Marblehead Counseling Center and want to strengthen its reach.

• Protecting Our Kids: I support the Wait Until 8th Campaign and want to start conversations about delaying smartphone use and limiting phones in schools—helping kids grow up with less pressure and more presence.

As a mom of two young children, I care deeply about Marblehead’s future. I’d be honored to use my medical and public health background to serve this amazing community.
