As Executive Director of the Edward King House Senior Center in Newport, Rhode Island, I lead with a deep commitment to community, dignity, and the belief that aging is not a closing chapter, but a powerful stage of contribution and connection.

My work focuses on building innovative, responsive programs that meet the evolving needs of older adults—strengthening social connection, expanding access to essential services, and advancing conversations around longevity, resilience, and community well-being.

I am passionate about forging strong partnerships across municipal leadership, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and grassroots volunteers to ensure that older adults remain visible, valued, and vital members of our community.

From emergency response coordination and volunteer mobilization to strategic growth initiatives and creative programming, I approach leadership with energy, collaboration, and a future-focused mindset.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: thriving communities honor and invest in their older adults.
