My journey to your Ward 9 City Councillor began 25 years ago while I was working at The Dam in Meadowvale. During that time, I was completing my master’s degree in Social Work, and I had just completed a job working in Toronto’s homeless shelters. Through these service roles, I gained greater compassion for the sometimes-unseen residents in the Ward 9 area. As I built relationships within our community, local schools, and senior homes, I became intrigued with the impact one can make in municipal politics. Since then, every career decision I have made has been anchored by the question, “What impact can I make in my community?”

I do not view this vital role as a steppingstone to the next political job. I began laying roots in Ward 9 when my parents moved to Meadowvale in 1977. I live here, and I am ready to serve here. I am fortunate to be surrounded by supportive residents who cherish this community’s rich history. I promise to represent all residents of Ward 9 and collectively lead in the Region of Peel.
