Ready for the work to officially begin! Last night I had the honor of being sworn in by Assemblywoman Swain, while surrounded by my family. I am thrilled for the opportunity to serve my hometown as one of the youngest councilmembers in Fair Lawn’s century-long history. Thank you to Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco and Commissioner Tracy Zur for attending the reorganization and helping make the night even more special. I am truly grateful to our community for their continued support and excited for what’s to come!

After four years of serving on the Fair Lawn Board of Education, it is time for the next chapter. As a proud product of our District, it has been an honor to contribute to the continued success of our schools. From my days as the Student Board of Education Representative to my selection as Vice President of the Board, my goal has always been to advocate for our students, support our educators, and serve our community with care and integrity.

Thank you to everyone who made these four years so meaningful, and for the continued trust placed in me by our community!

As I prepare to serve as a Councilmember, know that my commitment to our community remains steadfast. I hope you’ll continue along on the journey as this page transitions to reflect my new role. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

[Beat the Heat] Congratulations to the Fair Lawn High School Class of 2025! Today’s ceremony was extra special for me as it marks exactly ten years since I walked across Sasso Field with the Class of 2015. It’s exciting to watch the next generation ready to make their mark. Wishing all the graduates nothing but success in the years ahead 🎓

Happy Memorial Day! It was a privilege to march alongside fellow Board of Education members this morning as we joined the community in honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country - including 47 Fair Lawn residents.

Although the results remain unofficial, I am once again humbled by yesterday’s results and the support of our community. When I first ran for the Board of Education three years ago, I could not have imagined that I’d have the chance for a second term. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve our community and our students. I look forward to expanding on all I have learned during my first term and being an effective board member. This would not have been possible without the support of so many family, friends and neighbors. Thank you, Fair Lawn!

Same place… three years later: Proud to have had the opportunity to once again cast my vote where my public education began over two decades ago - Warren Point Elementary School. Polls are open until 8pm. Make your voice heard!

ONE MORE DAY!

Thank you to everyone in the community who has believed in my vision for our schools. It has been great reconnecting with neighbors and talking about the issues that matter. As this year's campaign comes to an end, I want to share one last reminder for those that have not taken advantage of early voting or vote-by-mail to vote column one for the Board of Education. Together, let's create an even brighter future for our students!
