My interest in education governance began as a parent at Gleneagles Elementary, where I saw firsthand the importance of ensuring parents’ voices are heard. I later joined the Rockridge PAC executive and served as Co-Chair, followed by being elected President of the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), representing parents across our three communities.

Since first being elected to the School Board in 2014, I have served on numerous local, regional and provincial trustee committees. These roles provide opportunities to advocate for students, families and staff, bring additional resources into our education system, and work toward positive changes for our schools.

I’m running for re-election because our students deserve an excellent educational experience, with opportunities that prepare them for the paths they choose in life. West Vancouver is recognized for the strength of its public schools, and I want to help ensure that success continues. Throughout my time as a trustee, I have worked to support strong learning environments for all students, including those with diverse needs and English language learners, and I look forward to continuing that work.
