I am running to represent Kitchener on Waterloo Region Council.

​

Kitchener has been home for twenty years, after thirteen years in Waterloo and nineteen years in Ottawa. Much of my life has focused on helping build a sustainable community of belonging. We are at our best when people feel connected to each other, supported in their lives, and able to influence the decisions that affect their lives.

​​

After a career in science, technology, and innovation, I turned my attention to public policy, community development, and peacebuilding. Since then, I’ve worked in local advocacy, social inclusion, food security, democratic engagement, and community leadership.

​​

Whether serving on boards, working with community organisations, speaking up on local issues, or putting my name on a ballot, I’ve tried to take the same approach:

​

Listen carefully to all voices

Build relationships and strive for consensus

Let evidence guide our solutions

​

We need practical solutions that make Kitchener a resilient and sustainable community where we all belong. I will be your champion.

​

Election Day is October 26, just around the corner.
