• Provides some useful context of my professional background

The school community best served when a culture of respect and integrity is fostered by our trustees.

• In this heated time, I am an individual that can disagree without being disagreeable - I've been in a customer-facing role at a Conservation Authority for many years, and have always upheld the dignity of the organization even during very tense exchanges

• I will find compromises that best serve and reflect the students, parents, staff, school board and taxpayers

• A trustee that will raise the profile of the school board with their conduct, rather than diminish it.

Our School Board will best reflect the diverse community that it serves if we all practice civic engagement

• I will share any important voting information on my social media channels to assist residents in participating in our municipal election

• I am running a hopeful and positive campaign to boost excitement - I want you to want to vote!
