Biography:
I grew up in Ladysmith and have been living in Nanaimo for almost 20 years. Prior to serving as Member of Parliament, I was a media producer and small business owner. I produced documentary films on environmental issues, international trade, food security, First Nations issues and cultural revitalization, and health care. My work raised public awareness and influenced government policy. I also coordinated employment skills training programs for youth at risk and people with diverse abilities.

Over more than two years as MP, I have been a strong advocate for a healthy environment and a more just society. I have been pushing the government for urgent action on the climate emergency, the housing affordability and homelessness crisis, and reconciliation. I have been on the forefront advocating for improvements to Canada’s social safety net and health care system, including universal pharmacare, dental care, and accessible mental health care.

Serving the constituents of Nanaimo-Ladysmith is my first priority. This means listening to community members and bringing their concerns to parliament. It also means reporting back to the community, which I did every regular week parliament was sitting. I don’t engage in partisan bickering. I support good ideas, no matter who proposes them.
