I am committed to supporting children in a way that takes a wholistic approach to their needs. I am led by a desire to see safe, caring schools where all feel valued.
This is a page from the 2022 BC Local General Elections.
What I Believe
- Public education is the cornerstone of a healthy society, and we must continue to advocate for sustainable, predictable, fully funded education which truly meets the needs of all our students
- School boards must be accountable and responsive to all constituents
- Schools must be safe, caring, inclusive places for everyone – students, their families, staff – where students have the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential. Early intervention is vital to supporting special needs students
- Trustees have a responsibility to model collaborative, fair, open, respectful relationships
- All students deserve equitable access to programs and services
- The Board must continue to support the Truth and Reconciliation process and continue to promote Aboriginal understanding
