Why I'm standing
I am running for election because I am confident that I can make a meaningful contribution to community governance. I will be able to put my planning experience and civil defence training to a greater good. I also believe that as a migrant, it is important to be engaged with the communities that we live in and to represent the diversity of our community.
About me
I am a long-serving local government staff member, and I have a strong understanding of local government and legislative processes. It provides me the advantage of seeing an issue from different angles and applying rational, informed, and well-considered approaches within a community board setting. While championing my community's causes, I will be able to secure optimal outcomes by balancing competing interests.
My priorities
- Create 'living streets' to mitigate adverse traffic effects on residential neighbourhoods.
- Improve the safety of intersections and roadways for all road users.
- Ensure decision-making is clear and involves the community.
