Indépendant pour SD57 Board of Education
My policies are driven by student & teacher needs. They share a classroom-first focus—cutting administrative noise to put support staff, mental health resources & career programs directly in schools. My goal: every student graduates safe, supported & ready for life.

Local Government, Planning, & Democracy

Cut administrative bloat and keep district spending open and accountable, ensuring resources go directly into classrooms, materials, and teacher support.

Mental Health, Drugs, & Addiction

Mental Health in Schools

Advocate for dedicated provincial funding and protect frontline support staff so every student feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Everything else

Expand Early Career Pathways & Practical Skills

Focus on starting career exploration, dual-credit programs, and real-life skills in grades 9 and 10 to give students clear direction and passion early on.
