My 28 years at TELUS provided deep corporate insight and extensive labour knowledge as a United Steelworkers Union member. As Founder and President of the Jr. Black Achievement Awards Society and Director for Hogan’s Alley Society, I bring proven governance, fiscal accountability, and grassroots advocacy.

My Campaign Pillars:

1. Infrastructure & Forward Planning: Children deserve bright, modern, and safe learning spaces. I will advocate for proactive planning to reduce overcrowding, minimize portable reliance, and expand school capacity alongside municipal growth.
2. Complexity & Classroom Support: Every child’s journey is unique. I will push for funding reforms to secure consistent special education resources, mental health supports, and language programs, while supporting the recruitment and retention of our valued teachers and support staff.
3. Community Care & Accountability: Schools must be safe, inclusive spaces where everyone is welcome and can thrive. I am committed to uniting community partners and local organizations around this vision, prioritizing well-being, transparent governance, and equity.

My endorsements include Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, the New Westminster & District Labour Council, and USW Local 1944. With your support, I will be a strong voice for our students and families in SD43. Together, we can build a proactive and compassionate school district.

I would be honoured to earn your vote.
