Biography:

I feel fortunate to have represented the Nanaimo-North Cowichan area for 15 years which has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in our coastal communities.

Most of my years as an MLA were spent in opposition watching our community suffer through a rising poverty and housing crisis and fighting for the investments and improved services that we needed.

This last term has been drastically different – we have seen a new urgent care clinic, the islands first nurse practitioner led clinic, new and expanded hospitals, new and upgraded schools, more investments in affordable housing, lowered child care fees and long awaited projects like Crofton Road are finally becoming a reality.

Over the years I have worked with so many organizations and individuals who never gave up advocating for these projects and investments. I am incredibly grateful for their efforts and I am proud to have been part of the government who worked with our community to make them happen.

I am running for re-election because there is still so much work left to do, and I want to continue moving our community forward.
