I hold a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Virginia Tech. My career has been built on problem solving as a scientist, engineer, and entrepreneur. From the research bench to global product development to now building my own company in the lab automation and AI space, every step has required the ability to dig into complex problems, develop practical solutions, and execute. I’m comfortable getting into the weeds because that’s where the real work happens.

That same mindset drives how I engage in Hudson. Being a good scientist or engineer isn’t just about identifying a problem. It’s about listening to the people affected by it, developing solutions grounded in data and evidence, and communicating those solutions clearly so that everyone can understand and trust the path forward. And like any entrepreneur, I know that a good idea means nothing without the follow-through to make it real. That’s what I try to bring to Hudson: the discipline to dig deep, the experience to find workable solutions, and the ability to translate complexity into something meaningful for the residents who have to live with the outcomes.

I serve on both the Conservation Commission and the Historical Commission. I lead volunteer efforts to restore the Danforth Falls Conservation Area, removing invasive species and improving the land that so many Hudson families enjoy. I work with Green Hudson and Hudson Land Trust on environmental education and initiatives, and I like getting involved where I believe my technical background can genuinely help inform the work.

Towns are living, breathing organisms. They are communities, and like all living things, their needs evolve over time. That evolution is driven by forces both internal and external, from shifts in demographics and local economy to state and federal pressures that communities have little control over.

Hudson, like so many towns across Massachusetts, faces a real and growing set of challenges: aging infrastructure, housing pressures, fiscal sustainability, environmental and climate pressures, and the need to reverse eroding quality of life. These aren’t problems with easy answers, and incremental thinking alone won’t get us where we need to go. We need to be bold enough to tackle hard problems head-on and creative enough to find solutions that work within our means. That means approaching each challenge with fresh eyes, drawing on the best available tools and ideas, and having honest conversations with residents about the tradeoffs involved. Hudson has always found its way forward, but it takes people willing to do the work to get there.

If elected to Select Board, I hope to contribute as an active and approachable leader for this community. My background as a scientist, engineer, and entrepreneur brings a new perspective to the board. I don’t just want to show up. I want to contribute something lasting. Like many of you, I am frustrated with the direction of Hudson, but I know that we can get Hudson back on track. We may have our disagreements on how to get there, but what unifies all of us is that we want Hudson to be the best that it can be. To achieve this, we must get back to listening to our community and empower them to push for the change they want.
