I am a 15-year Lexington resident, scientist, mother to three boys, and immigrant from South Africa. These identities drive my commitment to a town government that is both rigorous and compassionate. With my kids now older, I am eager to transition from spectator of town government to active participant. Professionally, I am a scientist with a PhD in Computational Biology and a women’s health advocate. I authored the book “No Period. Now What?” which grew out of my passion for translating complex data into actionable information for people navigating a health challenge. Outside of my professional life, I play ice hockey, and spend time with friends and my kids (particularly at Center playground and watching their games). I feel a deep drive to help keep our town and planet in the best shape we can for the future – I want to ensure that our town keeps moving forward with sustainability improvements and growth, and also that long term residents and those with lower financial means are supported as much as possible.
