As the owner of Page Aesthetics Skincare in the Hillside neighborhood, I’ve navigated the challenges of running a solo business—including during the pandemic shutdown—while staying rooted in community. I also serve on the Board of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, helping local businesses connect, collaborate, and thrive.

What I’ve Done:

• Kept my skincare business open and thriving during the pandemic shutdown

• Created the Aesthetics Skincare Collaborative Community—an online group of 30+ estheticians—for support and mentorship

• Serve on the Board of Directors and Communications Committee of the Medford Chamber of Commerce

• Partnered with all 8 PTOs to bring the business community into citywide events

• Advocate for policies that protect and promote small businesses

What I’ll Do:

• Fight for clearer permitting, zoning, and licensing processes

• Prioritize support for small businesses in all Medford squares

• Incentivize filling vacant storefronts and support commercial growth

• Strengthen the connection between City Hall and the business community

Our daughter attends Medford Public Schools, and like so many parents, we’re invested in making sure our schools have what they need to succeed—for students, families, and educators alike.

What I’ve Done:

• Active participant in our school’s PTO and events

• Partnered with all 8 PTOs on citywide projects

• Advocated for stronger communication and support for families and educators

• Connected school leadership with my business contacts and Tufts connections to assist with grant funding, scholarship outreach, and program support

What I’ll Do:

• Support efforts to invest in school infrastructure and staff

• Advocate for a stronger partnership between City Hall, MPS leadership, and the School Committee

• Ensure parents and teachers are included in city decisions

• Prioritize funding that strengthens the classroom and community

Our public workers—firefighters, police, DPW, custodians, and others—are the backbone of our city. I want to be a liaison between these departments and City Hall, making sure their voices are heard and their needs are met.

What I’ve Done:

• Reached out to union members and service providers to better understand their concerns

• Advocated for public input on zoning changes that impact services

• Supported union priorities like fair wages, seniority, and staffing needs

What I’ll Do:

• Build stronger relationships with city departments and their unions

• Push for a better-resourced traffic enforcement department

• Support clear, two-way communication between City Hall and public workers

• Help ensure budgets reflect the vital work our city staff does every day

Zoning decisions affect every corner of Medford—from how our business districts grow to how our services can keep up. I’ve been one of the few speaking up for a thoughtful, phased approach to zoning.

What I’ve Done:

• Asked for transparency and regular updates on zoning reform

• Advocated for commercial-first zoning changes that protect small businesses

• Called for studies on the impact of new development on schools, fire, and police

What I’ll Do:

• Support zoning that promotes responsible growth and vibrant neighborhoods

• Make sure business owners are part of the zoning conversation

• Prioritize development in corridors like Mystic Ave and Medford Square

• Ensure city infrastructure can handle growth before it happens

Medford should be a place where it’s easy to get involved, open a business, and access information. That starts with communication and a City Hall that works for its residents and entrepreneurs—not against them.

What I’ve Done:

• Shared zoning updates, letters, and public correspondence to increase transparency

• Actively engaged with business owners, residents, and city departments

• Partnered across groups—like PTOs, the Chamber of Commerce, and small businesses—to build community

• Consistently advocated for clear and timely communication from City Hall

What I’ll Do:

• Push for a complete overhaul of the city website

• Streamline communication between departments and businesses

• Promote development in key business corridors

• Support and equip revenue-generating departments

• Pursue grants and external funding to support schools, infrastructure, and services

• Launch monthly roundtables that include city services, neighborhood leaders, businesses, and residents

• Strengthen City Hall’s responsiveness and accountability
