I am a Senior Research Scientist in the Center for Space Physics at Boston University. I study planetary space physics using data from NASA spacecraft. I have lived in Brookline since 2014.

I have served as a Town Meeting Member since 2020, first in precinct 4 then in precinct 6 due to re-precincting. I am a member of the "Yes for Brookline" campaign that is supporting both the Pierce school debt exclusion (Question 1) and operational override (Question 2) in the May 2023 election. Rebuilding Pierce is the only cost-effective approach to providing Pierce students and staff with an equitable, safe, and accessible learning and work environment. I am also a member of the Brookline Equity Coalition.

Since fall 2020 I have also served as a member of the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PedAC). As part of that committee, I led an analysis of 9 years of BrookONline data to help identify improvements that could be made to Brookline's sidewalk snow removal policies. That work inspired me and two other pedestrian advocates to propose updates to Brookline's snow removal by-law in Fall 2022 (see warrant article 9 here). Unfortunately our proposal was significantly watered down by the town's finance committee, called the Advisory Committee, but ultimately we were successful in slightly shortening the compliance window from 30 hours to 24 hours after a storm so that our public way will be accessible sooner following a snowstorm.
