Brookline values an educated public. I practice lifelong learning and believe knowledge and training are essential for a respected society and strong workforce. Whether the discussion regards resources, people, activities, or curriculum, I have years of experience to share.
I've learned in these settings: public, private, religious, secular, single-sex, co-ed, liberal arts, fine arts, communication, business, graduate, portfolio, community, adult education, continuing education, writing intensive, seminar, workshop, online, day, boarding.
Let's strengthen the search for truth with informed policy.
We are blessed to safely move about a clean, green town. Care for Griggs Park is personal. I see the park daily. I direct such feeling to other natural settings in Brookline. Whether the policy regards engineering and transportation, sustainability and natural resources, highway and sanitation, parks and open spaces, or water and sewage, in my mindscape is a lovely habitat. Nature provides more to enjoy about Brookline. Let's steward our locality.
The Town Meeting must pass a balanced annual town budget and enact all town by-laws. Given the responsibility, it makes sense to wonder if I'm wise with money when I share opinions about finances. I spend carefully and pay my bills fully and timely. I like comfort within limits. Brookline money should help the town run smoothly and ensure a reasonably strong quality of life. There is more to funding than worksheets and calculators. I have values in mind.
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" (Article 1, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). Precinct 10 must show to Brookline, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, and elsewhere that we look after each other. We practice kindness. When you're in Brookline, you being you is better than feeling unwelcome. As a Native American tribal member with disability and member of the MLK Celebration Committee, I know personally the importance of inclusion, and I extend fairness and equality to others. Let's express goodwill.
Brookline cares about a healthy community. It's vital that all of us in these 6.8 square miles experience physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, to attain and maintain such throughout the life cycle. We must remain mindful of access and affordability to care, realizing that while the ability to pay for care varies, a healthy people is essential. For sake of transparency, some of my art benefits patients, staff, and healthcare professionals at Mass General Brigham. Let's live well.
