Biography:
Nanaimo-Ladysmith is my home, where I’ve raised my two teenage children and have fought for some of the most vulnerable people in our community for over 26 years. I am the best candidate because I’m deeply rooted here and I know what it’s like to do the work on the frontlines to make change, not just talk about it.

I’ve served as a School Board Trustee since 2018 where I made sure that students, and families, are always put first. The difficulties of the pandemic continue, and the safety and wellbeing of our community remains my top priority. Whether as a School Board Trustee or a Member of Parliament.

In my work in addictions , I help those who have been left behind by federal inaction to the opioid crisis. I have worked alongside municipal governments and nonprofit organizations to better deliver resources to individuals experiencing homelessness, mental illness, and addiction.

I’ve also worked as a facilitator and connector for organizations supporting women and those struggling with poverty to access resources as well as connecting students and families to support in schools as Community Schools Coordinator.

I’m ready to work with Jagmeet Singh and our NDP caucus to get the work done for you!
