Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
I have called Langley home for more than 8 years. I am a PhD-trained economist and I bring a practical, community-minded approach to public service, shaped by a belief that local government works best when it is grounded in the everyday realities of the people it serves.

Reason for running

I am running because I care about Langley City and its people. I want to build a city where residents and business owners feel heard, neighbourhoods stay connected, growth is thoughtfully managed, and City Hall is open, responsible, and responsive to our community.
