Education has always been an important part of my life. As a former teacher, university professor, parent of two graduates of Abbotsford schools, and community leader, I understand both the opportunities and the challenges facing our schools today.

My campaign is built on a simple belief: every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. I want to help ensure our schools are safe, inclusive, well-supported, and prepared for the future. I will listen to parents, students, teachers, and the wider community, and work collaboratively to find practical solutions that put students first.

This website will be the best place to follow my campaign, learn about my priorities, and find out how you can get involved. Together, we can build an even stronger future for Abbotsford’s students.

Thank you for your support—I look forward to meeting many more of you over the coming months
