Politics—at any level—was never my goal. I have watched Esquimalt evolve over the past 15 years, and I see so much opportunity for responsible growth. Navigating change thoughtfully and equitably is a huge responsibility. The decisions that are made in the short term will determine the direction of Esquimalt for decades to come.

​

The utilization of the Alternative Approval Process (AAP) in 2021 got me fired up. I mean, really fired up. The realization that the long-lasting effects of that decision went almost unnoticed by the public concerned me. We, as a community, must be more engaged in the decisions and processes that work to shape our future.

​

I am running for the Councillor role to appropriately manage growth and ensure fiscal responsibility that will allow Esquimalt to maintain its vibrancy and diversity. I want to encourage community participation in decision-making and work collaboratively to find options and solutions that are impossible when we operate in isolation.
