Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
I have lived in Burnaby for twelve years, and I use a mobility scooter, so I know our sidewalks and buildings from the inside. More than twenty years running my own company. Founder of the Access World Foundation. Independent — no party, no slate.

I have lived in Burnaby for twelve years. I use a mobility scooter, so I know our sidewalks, our buildings and our buses from the inside.

I have run my own company for more than twenty years, with a team of twenty-five; the last twelve were managed remotely from Canada. I kept it running through COVID, and through the war in Ukraine. Behind that experience sit a master's degree in Management of Organization and Administration, and a diploma in Business Administration from BCIT.

In Burnaby, seniors and disabled people meet barriers every day. Steps at doors, broken sidewalks, buildings with no ramp. When they ask, they wait years for an answer. That silence is the pattern, and it is why I am running. A councillor can bring the right people to the table, the City, the Province, the owners, and keep asking until someone answers.

In 2026 I founded the Access World Foundation, a Burnaby non-profit working on accessibility.

I am running as an independent. No party, no slate.

Access isn't enough. It has to work

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
Because when people ask for something simple, nobody answers. I know that from my own life, and I intend to change it.
