I am running for the Board of Health to apply my expertise and deep commitment to accountable, modern public health practices. I will build on my decade of public health leadership and service to the Town of Milton to build a stronger and healthier community for all. I believe that community should be at the center of health and wellness decision-making to ensure the best quality of life for all residents. With 30+ years of experience in community public health, I have led programs focused on behavioral health, overdose prevention, and expanding access to community health resources. I teach Public Health at Northeastern University and have served as an expert consultant for multiple Massachusetts Department of Public Health funded coalitions. A proud Milton resident for 24 years, I live with my husband, Corey Dolgon, and our dog Nova. We are very proud of our two daughters, Bailey and Ruby, both Milton High School graduates. I have a strong record of community service as a Town Meeting Member (Precinct 4), am a longtime collaborator with the Milton Health Department, and am a board member of the Milton Coalition and the Partnership for a Healthy Milton. I take an active leadership role in the Pine Tree Brook Neighborhood Association, where I recently authored a successful Community Preservation grant for ecological restoration. I am ready to roll up my sleeves and continue advocating for a healthier, safer, and more vibrant Milton.
