How would you describe your approach to leadership?
In my view, the most important aspects of leadership are listening and collaboration. Serving on the Finance Committee, I’ve come to truly appreciate the contributions of the many people, paid and unpaid, who make this town
work.
What do you hope to achieve as a member of the Select Board?
I hope to earn the trust of the people of Shutesbury, to focus on the substantive issues that affect us all – rising costs and dwindling revenues, especially, and to help guide the town toward sustainable solutions that we devise together.
What are your qualifications?
Serving on the Finance Committee for ten years has been the best possible training – I’ve learned so much about the real nuts and bolts of the town! Professionally, working internationally has taught me to look at the larger picture, to see my work as part of a much larger system. Also management and problem solving have been major components of my work.
