Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a third generation resident of North Kingstown. And for the past four years, I have served as the Director of Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Rhode Island General Treasurer working alongside state leaders at the highest levels of government to shape laws that make Rhode Island a place people want to stay in retirement or return after college, a place that is more equitable, and a place where homeownership is not just a dream but a real possibility.

I want to use my real-life experience getting things done as a public servant and as an attorney to deliver for our town. North Kingstown deserves a representative who has already achieved results — not someone who will have to learn the ropes. With your support, we can build a community that working families can afford, that is prepared for the challenges of climate change and ensures every child gets the education they deserve. North Kingstown’s best days are still ahead — and I have the experience and the drive to help get us there.
