Why am I running for the open House seat in our two-seat district?

I have the skills and experience to address the challenges we are facing in Vermont. My background in accounting, finance, research, and program development and assessment provide me with a skill set well suited to address the issues that our state faces.

I’ll work ...

For real health­care reform

As researcher at UVM, the high cost of health­care neg­a­tively impacted the num­ber of peo­ple I could hire on my grants. I’ll work for real health­care reform.

To strengthen Vermont’s safety net

As a con­sul­tant and data man­ager for VT’s Fam­ily Infant and Tod­dler Pro­gram, I worked to improve data sys­tems so ser­vices could be pro­vided more effec­tively. These ser­vices are cru­cial for our fam­i­lies. I’ll work to strengthen Vermont’s safety net.

For high qual­ity, afford­able education

As a fac­ulty mem­ber in UVM’s Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion, one area of my research focused on diver­si­fy­ing the math and sci­ence work­force by strength­en­ing edu­ca­tion. I’ll work for high qual­ity, afford­able education.

To address our state’s bud­get issues

I have a back­ground in account­ing and inter­nal audit­ing. I have man­aged and bal­anced bud­gets. I have the finan­cial skills to address some of the most press­ing issues fac­ing Vermont.
