I moved to Rutherford in 2006, immediately after college, when most of my peers were chasing the party life in Hoboken or New York City. I wanted to find a community where I could grow roots in and hopefully build a family. Rutherford made that dream a reality, I’ve been here ever since, and I never plan on leaving.
I became captivated by Rutherford's rich history and enjoy learning from those who have been here longer than me. I believe that in order to plan for a community's future, you first have to understand and respect its past. I understand the needs of other young families like mine and pledge to be a tenacious advocate for the needs of all residents.
With the support of my family, I am looking forward to devoting the necessary time and attention to serving our great Borough. I respectfully ask for your support so that together, we can plan for the future in a way is respectful to Rutherford's past.
