What’s your favorite place in Old Lyme?  A few years ago, my family
and I began sailing on Rogers Lake, and it quickly became one of
our favorite places! We also acquired a small fishing boat and have been exploring different local lakes. Rogers Lake is beautiful and very close
to our home, so it is very convenient to make a spontaneous day trip.
This year we participated in our first 4th of July boat parade!
What’s your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?
During my spare time, I love being outdoors with my children and gardening. My 6-year-old daughter,
and 4-year-old son enjoy helping with the gardens and watching our vegetables and flowers grow.​
What inspired you to run for local office?
I am inspired to run for local office with the aspiration of being involved in my community. As a
bookkeeper for small local businesses, I feel my financial background would be an asset to the Board
of Finance. I look forward to serving our wonderful community, and I am honored to be on this slate
of qualified candidates.
