Why I'm standing

I love living and raising our family in Hamilton. I want our city and region to be accessible and sustainable. We need bold leadership to tackle climate change and transition to a safer, balanced transport network.

About me

I am a mum, and former primary school teacher. I have loved serving our community for the past three years as one of your councillors. I am on our school Board of Trustees, and a local member of the Institute of Directors. I believe good governance is built on strong relationships and respect. I listen and respectfully engage with other elected members, staff and the public.

My priorities
  1. Continue to advocate for accessible, affordable and equitable public transport.
  2. Continue to ensure decision making has future generations interests as the foundation.
  3. Continue to build strong relationships within our region.
