BOSTON – Tuesday, September 1, 2026 – Mayor Michelle Wu today announced Marcus McNeill as the new neighborhood liaison for Mid-Dorchester, Isabella Carr as the new neighborhood liaison for Charlestown, and Abdullah Beckett as the new neighborhood liaison for Roxbury within the Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS). ONS plays a vital role in connecting residents with city services and resources; facilitating resident input on local government matters; ensuring that the appropriate city departments address constituent service requests; attending neighborhood meetings; and responding to emergencies, such as fires, to assist displaced residents.

“Strong communities start with meaningful connections between residents and City Hall,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “Marcus’ dedication to public service and experience connecting residents to City services will strengthen our work in Dorchester. Isabella’s lifelong connection to Charlestown and experience in government will help residents stay connected to City resources and services. Abdullah’s knowledge of City Hall and strong commitment to serving Roxbury will further our efforts to connect constituents with the support they need. I’m thrilled to welcome all three to these important roles and look forward to the relationships they will build with residents across their neighborhoods.”

Isabella Carr was born and raised in Charlestown, where she currently lives. She graduated from Boston Latin School and attended the University of Alabama, where she double majored in International Studies and Italian. Carr has experience working in Boston government and policy. She interned with State Representative Dan Ryan and later with O’Neill and Associates, a lobbying and government relations firm. Her experiences reinforced her interest in public service. Carr looks forward to helping strengthen the relationship between the Charlestown community and city services.

“Having grown up in Charlestown, I understand and appreciate firsthand what makes our neighborhood so special and the community that makes it such a great place to call home,” said Isabella Carr, Charlestown Liaison. “I am so excited to have the opportunity to give back to this neighborhood and to help strengthen the connection between Charlestown residents and City Hall.”
