A native of Shorewood, Wisconsin, I have lived in Marblehead since 2014. My husband, Erik Weibust, and I were drawn to the town’s vibrant community, notably its historic downtown and beautiful coastline. High-quality public schools sealed the deal for our young family, and we are proud to call Marblehead home.
Since moving to Marblehead, I have focused my volunteer efforts on supporting schools.
Served on the boards of the Coffin Gerry and Village School PTOs, and am currently in my third year as co-president of the Brown School PTO.
Co-chaired the successful Vote Yes for MHD Kids campaign, which secured funding for the construction of the Brown School.
Was a member of the Village School school advisory council for two years.
Served as a member of the St. Andrew’s Cooperative Nursery School Advisory Board.
My legal practice focuses on litigation and higher education law, providing me with a strong foundation in governance and policy.
Graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Northeastern University School of Law.
Worked as a litigation associate at Foley Hoag LLP, focusing on Business Crimes and Government Investigations.
Served as Assistant General Counsel at Suffolk University, representing the university in employment-related litigation, handled disability accommodation claims for students and staff, drafting and reviewing educational policies.
Currently working part-time on litigation matters for a Boston-area law firm.
