I’m running for the Canton Planning Board because I intend

to promote sustainable growth, community-driven decision

making, revitalizing downtown canton, improving

infrastructure, mobility, preserving Canton’s character and

history, supporting local business and economic growth,

prioritizing public safety, quality of life, and collaboration

with regional planning efforts.

 

I’m a proven community leader, real estate professional,

and local business owner. I was born in the United States

and raised in Roxbury, Massachusetts. I live in Canton with

my wonderful family. I value and champion individual freedoms, limited government, the rule of law, human dignity, property rights, public safety, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and support for local businesses.

 

As a proud graduate of Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, I was an exceptional student-athlete and excelled in basketball, football, and track. I served as a Student Government Senator at University of Massachusetts Amherst and Public Relations Officer for the Cape Verdean Student Alliance. In 1998, I received the City of Boston Scholarship and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, followed by a Master of Science Degree in Public Administration from the University of Massachusetts Boston.

 

I have over 20 years of experience in real estate as a broker, investor, and property rehabber. As a licensed real estate instructor, I have been an asset and mentor to many aspiring real estate professionals. My career also includes commitment and excellence in the education of our community’s youth as a dedicated math teacher at Jeremiah Burke High School. I also served as an appointed member of Canton’s Economic Development Commission from 2017-2022, where I worked on initiatives to promote business growth and economic vitality in my community.

​

As a staunch advocate for fiscal responsibility, I believe transparent planning is essential for maintaining the quality of life in Canton. As a member of the Planning Board, my mission is to ensure that development is smart, responsible, and beneficial to the entire community. I believe in fostering open communication between the Planning Board and residents, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard in the decision-making process.

 

Throughout my career, I have worked tirelessly to find common-sense solutions to complex planning issues. I approach challenges with an open mind and a commitment to creating solutions that work for all residents. My goal is to help Canton grow in a manner that honors its history while embracing opportunities for the future.

 

I’m running for Planning Board to bring responsible, inclusive leadership to the future of Canton. I’m passionate about ensuring that all voices are heard and that development benefits the entire community.
