I love Vermont.

I am excited to be running for Mayor of Winooski. My journey to this moment has been shaped by a deep commitment to public service and a belief that local leadership can meaningfully improve people’s daily lives. 

​

Growing up, I spent all of my vacations in Vermont. Every time I visited, I knew that one day I would make it my permanent home. After graduating high school, I made that dream a reality by moving to Vermont to attend the University of Vermont. I am proud to call Vermont — and especially Winooski — home, and I cannot imagine building my life anywhere else.

​

My commitment to community service has always been a driving force in my life. I began serving Vermonters early in my career working for Senator Patrick Leahy. Later, I brought that dedication to public service home to Winooski, serving on the Safe, Healthy, and Connected People Commission. Encouraged by former Representative Hal Colston and community members, I ran for City Council and was elected in 2022. I am currently serving my second term and, following Mayor Lott’s departure, have been honored to serve as Interim Mayor.

​

As a City Councilor and Interim Mayor, I have focused on affordability, expanding housing opportunities, strengthening community safety, and advancing equity. Together, we have made real progress — but there is more work ahead.

Winooski is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in Vermont. I believe our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, and as Mayor, I will continue working to ensure that every resident feels valued, heard, and represented in city government. Increasing BIPOC representation in local leadership and expanding opportunities for residents to engage in decision-making will remain central to my vision.

​

As Mayor, I will bring collaborative, steady leadership to City Hall. I will work closely with residents, city staff, local businesses, and community partners to address the issues that matter most: affordability, housing stability, public safety, economic opportunity, and climate resilience. I believe in practical solutions, transparent government, and making sure Winooski works for everyone.

​

Living in Winooski has taught me the power of community, resilience, and mutual support. I am proud of the strong relationships I’ve built with neighbors, small business owners, and local leaders. I hope to earn your trust and your support, and I invite you to reach out with your ideas, questions, and concerns.

​

I look forward to serving Winooski as your next Mayor.
