Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Current School Board Trustee in Central Okanagan Public Schools seeking re-election on Oct. 17th. I'm a parent, an ECE, and a long-time advocate for children and families. I'm passionate about strong public education and I've lived in Kelowna for nearly 30 years.

Over the past four years, I have been focused on student well-being and success, strong financial stewardship, and strategic leadership and governance. As a trustee, I have worked collaboratively with fellow trustees, district leadership, educators, support staff, families, and community partners to support students and strengthen public education across our district.

I've called Kelowna home for nearly 30 years and raised my son here. He's now attending UBC, where he's majoring in Human Geography and minoring in French. As an engaged member of this community, it's been a privilege to serve on the Board of Education, and I hope to continue contributing to the success of our students, families, and schools.
