About Kristen

I’m a mom of three who grew up in Lynnfield and moved ​back with my husband, Craig, in 2013 to raise my family.


I own an small PR agency, Seven Hills Communications, ​and have been active in Lynnfield in a number of ways, ​including as Tower Day Parents Forum Co-President, ​Summer St. School Council parent representative, a former ​member of the Lynnfield Finance Committee and a former ​member of the Lynnfield Public Safety Building ​Committee.


I believe in civic engagement, clear and transparent ​communication, and leveraging the tremendous talent in ​this community to keep Lynnfield a leading school district.

Why I’m Running for

Lynnfield School Committee

a focus on communication, collaboration & ​Moving forward

Lynnfield Public Schools (LPS) is at a pivotal moment. We are facing ​budget constraints, the need to rebuild the trust and confidence of our ​stakeholders, and a moment where getting back to supporting our ​teachers and, in turn, our students is essential.


From conversations with stakeholders across Lynnfield, here are the ​issues emerging as the major focus for the coming year.

budget challenges

Like towns across Massachusetts, Lynnfield will face budget challenges ​and that will carry over into LPS. At the same time, student needs are ​greater than ever.


As a member of the School Committee, I will provide clear communication ​on the budget, making the case for what LPS needs and instilling ​confidence in the town and its residents – who ultimately decide on the ​budget – to move forward.

COMMUNICATION & credibility

Regardless of the decisions that need to be made in the coming year, my ​goal is to treat Lynnfield’s residents and LPS stakeholders with respect ​for their input and intellect. My goal is to hear all voices, to take different ​POVs into account and to provide transparency into decision making to ​help build the Committee’s credibility.

serving the needs of all students

I hope to collaborate with other Committee members and stakeholders to ​best serve the needs of all students in our district. When difficult ​decisions are to be made, I hope to approach those with a clear and ​shared philosophy around what best serves our students’ needs across ​the board and ensures an equitable education for all.
