Rooted in Community, Ready to Lead

I’ve spent the past 16 years serving on the front lines—walking alongside people in their hardest moments and helping them navigate some of life’s toughest challenges. As a Community Peace Officer, I’ve worked directly with individuals facing homelessness, mental health crises, substance use, and housing insecurity. I founded and led the Community Assistance Team at the University of Alberta to meet people where they are, with dignity, compassion, and practical support.

This work has taught me that real leadership isn’t about titles or quick wins—it’s about listening deeply, acting ethically, and building solutions that last. It’s also shown me how important good governance is—because when systems fail, people suffer. That’s why I’m stepping up to serve as your councillor for Ward 2.

I’ve seen how decisions made around a council table affect real lives—from access to housing, to road safety, to support for youth. And I’ve seen how thoughtful, community-informed leadership can make a meaningful difference.

In my own community, I’ve taken that commitment further:

• As President of my condo cooperative, I’ve managed budgeting, long-term planning, and major infrastructure projects with transparency and care.

• As Vice Chair of the Strathcona Youth Justice Committee, I’ve worked to ensure that young people in our community are treated with fairness, empathy, and hope for the future.

• Most recently, I contributed to the Strathcona County Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Task Force, helping shape recommendations now before council to make our streets and trails safer and more accessible for everyone.

I’ve also volunteered with victim services, Habitat for Humanity, Parents Empowering Parents, and the Christmas Bureau—because for me, leadership is about showing up, even when it’s hard, and always putting people first.

Strathcona County is growing. With that growth comes complexity, opportunity, and the need for councillors who understand how to navigate systems, ask the right questions, and stay grounded in the people they serve.

I’m not running to learn on the job—I’m running to bring experience, empathy, and results to the table. This is about building a stronger, safer, more connected community—together.
