I’m running for Cranston City Council - Ward 6, to provide steady, experienced leadership rooted in continuous community service.

For almost two decades, I’ve lived, worked, and raised my family in Cranston. As a small business owner, school facilities leader, and longtime volunteer, I believe effective government starts with listening, responsible spending, and delivering results that strengthen our neighborhoods, protect our families, and invest in Cranston’s future.
