Working Better Together

I have proudly called Little Silver home since 2016 and am the mother of a 10-year-old son who will attend Markham Place School this fall. As both a parent and longtime volunteer, I believe strong schools are built through active partnerships among families, educators, administrators, and the community.

Since my son was in Pre-K, I have dedicated my time to supporting Little Silver schools by serving in leadership roles with both the Educational Foundation of Little Silver (EFLS) and the PTO. I have served on the Executive Board of each organization as Treasurer, Auction Chair, and 5K event lead, helping raise over $1 million for classroom programs that affect thousands of Little Silver students over my tenure. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into our district's strengths, challenges, and opportunities.

Professionally, I work in the advertising technology industry, and I've made community involvement a priority alongside a full-time career — because I believe it's one of the most important responsibilities of parenthood.

I am running for the Board of Education because I believe strong schools require more than academic excellence. They require trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to listening to educators, families, and community members. Board decisions affect students and families every day, and I understand that firsthand.

I will bring a fresh perspective, a record of service, and a commitment to thoughtful leadership that puts students first. I am proud to be running alongside Adam and Pete under a simple but powerful principle: Working Better Together. By strengthening collaboration among the Board, administration, teachers, parents, and the broader community, we can ensure Little Silver schools continue to thrive for current and future generations.

I'm running for the Little Silver Board of Education because our schools are one of our community's greatest strengths, and I believe thoughtful leadership can help keep them that way for years to come. My wife, Lori, and I have been proud to call Little Silver home since 2015 as we raise our two daughters, Shea (10) and Molly (8). Like so many families, we were attracted to Little Silver for its schools, and we've experienced firsthand the positive impact our teachers, staff, and schools have had on our children. Now, I hope to give back by helping ensure that future generations of Little Silver families have the same opportunities ours has enjoyed.

Professionally, I spent nearly 20-years as an executive at NJ-based iCIMS leading both Sales & Service and have since served on both corporate and nonprofit boards, including the past 7-years as a Founding Board Member and Fundraising Chair for Rutgers Center for Women in Business. For me, the common thread has been helping organizations make thoughtful financial decisions, plan for the long term, and work collaboratively to solve challenges. I will bring that same practical, collaborative approach to serving on our Board of Education.

If elected, my focus will be on protecting what's working while planning for what's next. That means providing responsible financial stewardship, strengthening communication with both school families and residents without children in the district, and keeping students at the center of every decision.

I believe the best decisions come from listening to different perspectives and working together — which is why I'm proud to run alongside Christina and Pete under a simple principle: Working Better Together. By building on the strong foundation our schools have today, we can preserve the excellence that prepares every child for success, keep Little Silver a community that attracts new families and strengthens neighborhood connections, and help sustain the value of our homes. I'd be honored to bring that commitment to the Board of Education and would greatly appreciate your support this November.
