I lived here until about 1986. Returned to this community because I had such fond memories of living in Melrose and thought it was such a wonderful place to grow up and look forward to raising my children here. So I applied to the Human Rights Commission as I wanted to ensure that this community remains welcoming and open to all as I'll be raising my family here. And I was inspired by the mission of the Human Rights Commission to take a proactive approach to defending and supporting the rights of its citizens as such I hope to be bringing my skills in fundraising policy and nonprofit management to the Commission to help further its mission
