WHY I'M RUNNING

I believe our community deserves a strong voice for everyday people.

For me, community has always been about showing up - volunteering, listening, helping where I can, and speaking up when something matters. My children have grown up watching me volunteer and advocate in our community, and running for City Council feels like a natural extension of that commitment.

Professionally, I bring more than 16 years of experience in corporate roles within the banking sector, including leadership, process improvement, employee engagement, and participation on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) committees. I also bring strong communication and public-speaking skills.

These experiences have taught me the importance of collaboration, accountability, thoughtful decision-making, and creating space for different perspectives, I now want to bring these skills to city council.
