I am a mother of two, and a registered architect with ample planning experience. These two identities are a perfect match to represent you and your family's interests on the Franklin Planning Board. As an architect, I have worked for over 15 years on diverse projects and studies. I have extensive experience in new construction, renovations and additions, feasibility studies, and master plan efforts. My expertise in understanding the built environment, the construction industry, design and regulatory processes, and the impact of work on communities would provide valuable insight as a member of the Planning Board. As a mother, I want to set my family up to thrive as they grow up in a family-friendly Franklin.

I've been an associate member for over a year. Having experience being on the Board has been invaluable. Understanding the process, jargon, and importance of this commitment is a differentiator. It is a responsibility I don't take lightly. As an associate member, I can only vote if/when another voting member has to recuse him or herself. I want the ability to be a full-time, voting member, to be able to have more of an impact on the decisions made.

Franklin’s Planning Board oversees development in Town in a few different ways: reviewing special permit applications, evaluating subdivisions, and studying proposed changes to zoning by-laws. Having qualified members on the Board, who have only the best intentions for the families of Franklin, is essential to ensuring forward-thinking development that considers where the Town is heading in the next ten, fifty, and one hundred years.
