Why I am running for re-election: It's about delivering exceptional learning opportunities, building community & a sense of belonging in schools, supporting mental health and well-being, & engaging in reconciliation through education.
I know North Vancouver School District (NVSD) as a student, parent and trustee.
Born and raised in the Capilano Highlands neighbourhood of North Vancouver, I attended Montroyal Elementary School and Handsworth Secondary School. Now, I live in Lynn Valley with my husband and two children who attend Argyle Secondary School.
Through my schooling and my children's education, I bring experience with NVSD learning enrichment programs: learning assistance, music, student leadership, academies, travel opportunities and programs for Indigenous students.
I was elected to the Board of Education via a by-election in May 2021, and I became Vice Chair in November 2021. I serve as School Trustee representative for Montroyal School, Canyon Height School, Highlands School, École Cleveland School and École Handsworth School. For NVSD, I serve as a commissioner for the North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission, and represent the board on the North Vancouver PAC and NVSD French Immersion committee.
In addition to being a school trustee, I work in Communications & Public Affairs at Capilano University. I see the partnerships between NVSD and Capilano University and how they improve learning opportunities for students in North Vancouver.
