Founder

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts. WPI’s project-based curriculum fostered my ability to work with various disciplines, conduct in-depth research, and communicate complex ideas effectively. As the primary writer and editor for my junior and senior year Qualifying Projects, I developed strong analytical and technical writing skills—an experience that has carried into my professional and community work.

For nine years, I worked as a code consultant in the fire protection engineering field, where I wrote technical reports, engineering judgements, and variance requests for compliance with building, life safety, and accessibility codes. I also developed training materials and organizational tools to improve efficiency and onboarding for new employees.

Since moving to Reading, I have become deeply involved in local politics and community advocacy. I ran two campaigns for Select Board in 2024, which gave me valuable insight into local governance and the need for greater civic engagement. I am an active member of Partners and Allies for Inclusive Reading (PAIR) through the Office of Equity and Social Justice (OESJ) and a member of CATO: The Coalition of Us, a Reading-based nonprofit. I regularly attend town meetings, board discussions, and community events to stay informed, advocate for inclusivity, and celebrate the rich arts and culture of the area.

Through my professional and civic experiences, I have developed a strong commitment to transparency, collaboration, and community engagement—all of which drive my ongoing efforts to make a positive impact in Reading.
