I have decided to run in this election with the goal of bringing real world experience to council. My diverse skill set and life experince would bring critical insights to the table that would serve to benefit all citizens as we manage a growing city with multiple hurdles to overcome.
I've spent the past decade researching the current homelessness, mental health, and addictions challenges our city is faced with following a near fatal surgery in 2016. I have a seep understanding of the issue and I'm confident I can bring forth real solutions to turn this from a burden to a benefit for our city.
Staying active builds resilience, teamwork, and balance — qualities that translate directly into leadership. I’m passionate about sailing, skiing, tennis, hockey, soccer, biking, hiking, golf, and many other sports that keep me connected to nature and community. As a professional ski instructor and coach, I take pride in helping others develop confidence and skill, both on the slopes and in life.
Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. I find inspiration in every form of artistic expression — from music and painting to acting and film production. I play piano, guitar, keyboard, drums, and enjoy singing and producing electronic music. Whether performing on stage or working behind the scenes in theatre and film, I value the power of the arts to connect people, tell stories, and strengthen community.
