A neighbour who knows this community.
I am an active and passionate member of this community, with deep roots in the neighbourhood I am proud to call home. I built my business locally, and over the years I have contributed to the growth and well-being of this area while forming strong connections with residents and local organisations. My commitment here is personal. I want to see this community continue to thrive for future generations. .
Ward 5 needs a voice
Ward 5 has been my home for quite some time now. I have built a business here, raised my family here, and watched this neighbourhood grow and change. But somewhere along the way, I started to feel like the people making decisions about our ward were not spending enough time actually listening to the people who live in it.
The tipping point for me was simple: I called the city about a recurring issue on our street one that my neighbours and I had raised before and heard nothing back for weeks. When I finally got a response, it was a form letter. That moment made me realise the problem wasn’t the issue itself. The problem was that there was no one at the table advocating to make sure Ward 5 residents were heard.
I am running because I have spent years working with people customers, employees, community members and I know what it takes to show up, follow through, and solve problems.
Ward 5 deserves that from its councillor.
Grounded in what matters most.
My family and I are proud to call this community home. My children attend local schools, and I am deeply invested in the well-being and future of this neighbourhood. I am actively involved in community life, building relationships, supporting local families, and contributing to initiatives that bring people together. Whether volunteering at community events, participating in neighbourhood clean-ups, advocating for improvements, or simply taking the time to listen to residents, I am committed to fostering a strong, connected, and thriving community where everyone feels they belong.
