As a home care physical therapist, working mostly in Fairfield, I have the unique opportunity to see inside the homes and lives of Fairfielders. I am passionate about finding ways to allow residents to age in place. This not only involves making their homes accessible and affordable to live in but also making our town structure and environment welcome to all. Not only do we need to focus on the accessibility of our town buildings and recreational areas but we need to focus on the accessibility of the roads and sidewalks to get there. We also must continue to focus on access to town meetings and events remotely for those unable to attend in person.

Also, as a healthcare professional for over 25 years I know the importance of treating everyone equally and with dignity and respect. As your RTM representative I serve you no matter your race, religion or party affiliation. An important skill I have further developed in my profession is being able to listen to people to find out what their needs and goals are. Serving six years on the RTM has developed my ability to find answers for residents to meet their needs and make Fairfield a great place for all to live.
