I'm passionate about advocating for important issues affecting our community. As a website creator, I use my skills to help organizations spread their message online. But when I'm not working on websites, you'll find me at Bangor City Council meetings, raising my voice for causes like housing, substance use disorder, and mental health. This website is where you can find my unfiltered take on what's happening at City Hall and in the community. Join me in the fight for a better Bangor!
