The Five Members

Shortly after moving to Hopkinton in 2004, I began a career as a middle school teacher in the Southborough Public Schools, and furthered my own education earning a doctorate from Northeastern University in Curriculum Leadership; I have authored curriculum in reading, a variety of writing genres, a math lab, and health.   

With two school-aged children in Hopkinton, I chose to run for School Committee in 2017 in order to take an active role maintaining the exemplary level of education we have in our small but growing community.

When not at committee meetings, I coach girls soccer, volunteer with the HPTA, & shuttle my children to sports and extracurricular activities.

A resident of Hopkinton since 2010, I have spent the majority of the last nineteen years raising our two sons (one now a sophomore in college and one a junior at Hopkinton High School), and volunteering in the schools and communities in which I have lived.  While our family is often found participating in activities involving music and athletics, I am also very interested in efforts supporting STEM education, citizenship and lifelong learning.

Professionally, I began my career in IT and currently work in finance and HR, supporting a small e-commerce consultancy.

I am the mother of two, a beautiful nine-year old boy with autism and a young woman who is now a senior in college. I am also a professor of humanities who teaches ethical philosophy and literature at Boston University. My students create art and research projects that respond to troubling or provocative current events. In my scholarship, I write about the intersection between art and ethics, for example, the way formal and stylistic choices writers make reflect ethical thinking. Each summer I work with the Menino Scholars, a group of fantastic Boston public high school students who are headed to BU on full scholarships.
