It has been a privilege to serve as past Treasurer and Chair of the Board. I have worked to ensure that our Credit Union offers the best, broadest range of services possible, at the most favorable rates to our members. I am excited about the opportunity to continue, on behalf of our membership, to use my 35+ years of financial/administrative experience (Executive Dean at HSPH) and 30+ years as a Board member to help our Credit Union continue to grow and remain strong.

I truly believe in the mission and services of the Harvard Federal Credit Union. It is an organization committed to constant improvement and to serving the unique and varied service needs of our members. I have served on many different Board committees, including acting as our current Chair, and have always strived to learn and contribute to the best of my ability, keeping the interests of our members top of mind. It has been an honor to serve on the Board, and it would be an honor to continue to do so.

Harvard University

I seek to continue serving on the Harvard Federal Credit Union Board to further deepen my understanding of the institution and contribute to its long-term success. Over the past 25 years at Harvard University, I have developed extensive experience as an administrator and leader, with responsibility for financial and risk management, workforce management, facilities, and general administration. My work is grounded in strengthening stakeholder engagement and building sustainable, scalable infrastructure that enhances operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Through managing complex financial operations within a highly decentralized environment, I have built strong partnerships and developed practical, results-oriented expertise that has supported my success across multiple roles at the University. I believe this background positions me well to make continued, meaningful contributions as a Board member and to help advance the mission and values of the Harvard Federal Credit Union.

Harvard Federal Credit Union is a vital financial organization for members of the Harvard community and is an essential part of many of our lives. I have witnessed the importance of this organization and have personally been the beneficiary of its products and services. It would be a privilege to be re-elected to the Board to serve and address the needs of the community, while continuing to further its important mission.
