I’m honored to be serving on the Bangor City Council, working to address the issues that matter most to our community—housing, mental health, and support for those impacted by substance use. With a background in website creation, I use my skills to help local organizations share their mission and reach the people who need them most. When I'm not working on websites, I'm at City Council meetings, where I advocate for fairness, accountability, and resources that strengthen every neighborhood in Bangor. This site offers my unfiltered take on what’s happening at City Hall and in our community. I encourage you to join me in working toward a stronger, more equitable Bangor.
