My Story
The Journey That Shaped Me for Selectboard Leadership
Hello, I'm Kat, and I'm asking for your vote for Selectboard. My journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to our town, and I believe my experience positions me to serve effectively. I've always been drawn to the intersection of dedicated public service and practical governance, where community needs meet responsible leadership.
From an early age, my curiosity about how things work—and how they could work better—has been a driving force. This has translated into a focus on exploring new solutions for local government, connecting with residents, and initiating meaningful projects that enhance our town. Whether it's diving into complex town budgets, collaborating with diverse groups to find common ground, or ensuring our local services meet high standards, I bring enthusiasm and dedication to every challenge.
Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in local government and community leadership, managing resources, and advocating for our town's best interests. Every role, whether formal or volunteer, has reinforced my belief that effective leadership requires careful fiscal planning, active community engagement, and a clear vision for the future. My approach is simple: stay accountable, remain transparent, and never stop working for our town.

What Drives Me

I believe in the power of authenticity, the importance of inclusive leadership, and the value of showing up fully for all residents, even when addressing complex challenges. Our town deserves dedicated effort and genuine commitment.
Outside of official duties, you'll find me deeply involved in the fabric of local government. I'm often **attending town meetings** to stay informed, actively participating in **community planning sessions**, and engaging in various **municipal service initiatives**. These activities expand my understanding of our town's unique needs and remind me how wonderfully diverse and interconnected our community is. I'm equally comfortable in deep, thoughtful discussions about town bylaws as I am laughing with neighbors at local events or trying a new approach to solve a persistent town issue.
