Since being re-elected in November 2023, I have been working hard behind the scenes—and sometimes right in the thick of it—to ensure Medford’s students, educators, and families receive the support they deserve. From policy reform to infrastructure upgrades, here’s what we’ve accomplished together:
✏️ A Transformational Teacher Contract
No Strike. No Threat of a Strike. Just Results.
Working an incredible amount of time, we secured a groundbreaking contract in just a few months. It was tough, but worth it. Thanks to the override and the dedication of our educators, students are already seeing real benefits.
🔨 Building for the Future
New High School Project
I have served as a member of the School Building Committee, helping to evaluate Owner’s Project Manager candidates and laying the groundwork for a successful, student-centered high school redesign.
🤝 Smarter, Faster Negotiations
Contract Leadership
Partnering with School Committee Vice Chair Jenny Graham, we’ve led negotiations on multiple contracts. As principal analyst, I developed a real-time cost assessment system that accelerates decision-making and reduces delays—saving time and resources, and enabling us to secure contracts faster than ever.
📚 Policy with Purpose
As Chair of the Rules and Policy Subcommittee, I’ve authored and refined the majority of proposed policies, advocating for clarity, consistency, and fairness. With hundreds still to review, I remain committed to this long-haul work that shapes how our schools operate.
🩸 Equity in Action
Menstrual Product Dispensers Installed
After years of advocacy, we now have dispensers in the bathrooms of middle and high schools. It took far too long—but we got it done, thanks to the persistence of students, parents, and PTOs.
💻 Tech That Works
Infrastructure Overhaul
With an understaffed IT department, I’ve stepped in as a technical sounding board to help move our tech upgrades forward, ensuring our schools are being equipped for modern learning.
🙌 Let’s Keep Going
I’m proud of what we’ve achieved—but there’s more to do. I’m running for re-election because I believe in Medford’s students, and I believe in our community. Let’s continue to build a school system that reflects our values, addresses our challenges, and prepares every student for success.
