A resident of the Westshore for over a decade, I am proud to call Colwood home and to serve my community through volunteerism and my second term on City Council. Professionally, I serve as Senior Director of Business Development in North America for the world's largest hearing healthcare organization, where I focus on strategic growth, business development and leadership. I bring post-graduate education in strategic HRM, change management, project management and business administration; and my career has spanned HR, sales, M&A, operations and executive leadership, providing me with a broad perspective on organizational management, financial management, responsible decision-making and building strong teams.
My focus on Council is building a stronger, safer and more sustainable Colwood through responsible growth, infrastructure investment, transportation improvements and sound financial management. I am a strong advocate for improved regional transportation, including rapid transit, and for practical solutions that improve residents’ everyday lives. I believe effective local government requires honesty, transparency, accountability and meaningful community engagement. I am committed to representing residents’ interests, asking difficult questions, providing direct answers, and ensuring decisions are made in the long-term best interests of Colwood.
Outside of Council and my professional responsibilities, I enjoy spending time with family and taking advantage of everything the Westshore and Vancouver Island have to offer.
