Why I'm standing
I want to be involved in helping our city move in the right direction while applying my current skills to something more meaningful. I would also like to be the person that residents can trust will do the right thing for them.
About me
I have developed great interpersonal skills during my career in corporate customer service roles and I have a good mix of integrity, empathy and accountability.
My priorities
- Be an accessible and effective advocate – making sure our voice is heard and residents are informed.
- Improve/fix our infrastructure to make sure it won't fail when we need it most.
- Increase native planting and tree coverage in our ward.
