I’m running for qathet School District Trustee because I believe our schools are at the heart of a strong community. What happens in our schools today helps shape the future of our children, our families, and our community as a whole.

I want students to feel supported, safe, and valued at school. I want families to know their voices matter, and I want the people working in our schools to have the support and resources they need to help students succeed.

I also believe our School Board should be connected to the community it serves. That means listening, asking questions, being open to different perspectives, and making thoughtful decisions — even when those decisions aren't easy.

I’m putting my name forward because I care about this community and its future, and I believe I can make a positive contribution to the Board while always keeping students at the centre of the decisions we make.

I will bring a practical, people-focused approach to the role of school trustee, along with years of experience managing people, budgets, operations, and challenging situations.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for making decisions, solving problems, managing competing priorities, and working with people from many different backgrounds. I understand the importance of accountability, clear communication, responsible use of resources, and following through on commitments.

My experience as a local business owner, property manager, community volunteer, and through my work with the Tla’amin Nation has also given me the opportunity to see our community from many different perspectives.

I won’t come to the Board pretending to have every answer. I will come prepared to do the work — to learn, ask questions, understand the issues, and make thoughtful decisions that put students and the long-term strength of our school district first.

A Place I’m Proud to Call Home
