Fun Fact
I still remember when the train used to come into Keene. That whistle was part of daily life growing up — a small reminder of how connected our town once was.
I work in the Artificial Christmas tree industry, so it’s the holidays all year round for me — even in July!
My 6th great-grandfather was Isaac Wyman, a Revolutionary War hero from Keene
Past Experience
As a former small business owner and current E-Commerce Manager for one of the world’s leading companies in Artificial Christmas trees and outdoor recreation, I understand what it takes to manage budgets, solve complex problems, and make decisions that impact thousands of people.
I’ve spent years navigating national retail markets, streamlining operations, and growing online sales at a global level. But no matter how far my career has taken me, Keene has always been home—and it’s time I give back by applying those skills right here in Ward 5.
I believe Keene needs leaders who understand business, value hard work, and focus on practical solutions. No politics. Just progress.
Let’s bring accountability, fiscal responsibility, and common-sense leadership back to City Hall
My Top Issues
Invest in local businesses
Listen to the voices of real business owners—not just corporate interests
Investing in road repairs and maintenance
From sidewalks and roads to city services, let’s fix what’s broken and plan smarter for the future
Fund fire and rescue services
Our firefighters and police officers are the backbone of Keene’s safety. They risk their lives every day to protect our families, homes, and community, and they deserve our full support. I am committed to ensuring full staffing, modern equipment, and ongoing training so our first responders can perform their jobs effectively and safely. Public safety isn’t optional — it’s a promise, and as your councilor, I will make it my top priority to protect those who protect us.
