Commissioner
Livingston has always felt like home to me, having spent my entire childhood right here. That's why the idea of getting involved with our Parks and Recreation department truly resonates. It feels like the perfect way to contribute meaningfully to the community that shaped me. One of the things I absolutely adore about Livingston is how perfectly suited it is for families. Our town does such an incredible job putting together events; they're consistently designed to be inclusive, fun for all ages, and always encourage us to embrace a vibrant, healthy lifestyle. It’s a wonderful spirit that I’m genuinely excited to help foster and support.
