Over the past few years, my name has surfaced in local coverage for a variety of reasons – sometimes as a quoted citizen observer, sometimes as a community volunteer or board member, and at other times as the author of letters. These articles track a timeline of civic engagement: library governance, public finance transparency, historic preservation, and community-building efforts.
What follows is a curated log of those appearances – whether a reporter mentioned me briefly, interviewed me directly, or published my commentary in full – to document where and how the conversations I’ve been part of entered the public record.
