Our Vision: A Worcester That Works for Everyone

Worcester is a city rich with culture, resilience, and opportunity—but we know there’s still work to do. My campaign is rooted in the belief that when we listen to all voices, invest in our people, and lead with equity, we can build a city where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Together, we will:

• Champion affordable housing and protect residents from displacement
• Support small businesses and drive inclusive economic growth
• Prioritize public safety with community-led solutions
• Invest in education, youth programs, and workforce development
• Strengthen city services to be more responsive and accessible
• Uplift historically marginalized communities and ensure every neighborhood has a seat at the table

This isn’t just a campaign—it’s a movement to shape the future of Worcester through collaboration, compassion, and courage.

Let’s build a better Worcester—together.

I’m an educator, advocate, and equity-driven leader who’s spent my career creating spaces where every voice is heard and every person feels seen. I’ve worked alongside students, families, and community leaders to tackle tough conversations around belonging, equity, and justice—and to turn those conversations into real change.

I’ve been shaped by the urgent need to build bridges where there are divides, to create accountability where it’s been missing, and to always push for what’s best for Worcester. I believe we don’t just need change—we need something and someone new.

My doctoral research—“Supporting the Lone Black Educator by Cultivating Allies and Co-Conspirators”—reflects the heart of my work: forging real connections, empowering communities, and leading with courage.

Now, I’m running for City Councilor At-Large to bring that leadership to City Hall—and to build a Worcester that truly works for all of us.

Let’s build it together.
