Practical, experienced  leadership to help Ward 7 thrive while keeping Cambridge connected, safe, and financially responsible.​

why i'm running
Ward 7 is one of the fastest-growing parts of Cambridge. New neighbourhoods are emerging, major community facilities are being built, and important decisions are being made that will shape our community for decades to come.
​
I am running for Cambridge City Council because I believe Ward 7 deserves practical, thoughtful leadership that focuses on results rather than politics.

Over the past twenty-five years, I have built a business, raised a family, served as a community volunteer, and worked in public service. Through those experiences, I have learned the importance of listening carefully, managing resources responsibly, and bringing people together to solve problems.

​As our community continues to grow, we need leadership that plans ahead, protects what residents value most about Ward 7, and ensures that growth is matched with the infrastructure, services, and community spaces families need.
​
I look forward to earning your trust and hearing your ideas for the future of Ward 7.
I’ve spent my life bringing people together to solve real community challenges, from supporting families and individuals in crisis to balancing multi-million-dollar education budgets. Now, I want to bring that same collaborative, values-driven leadership to City Hall, where decisions about housing, growth, and community well-being are made.

my priorities

Residents deserve neighbourhoods that are safe, welcoming, and well cared for.
​​My Commitment:
  • Advocate for traffic calming and pedestrian safety where needed
  • Support well-maintained parks, trails, and public spaces
  • Work with residents to address neighbourhood concerns
  • ​Ensure community safety remains a priority as Ward 7 grows
Ward 7 should be well connected to the rest of Cambridge and Waterloo Region.
​My Commitment:
  • Support practical improvements to public transit
  • Represent Ward 7's interests as ION Phase 2 planning moves forward
  • Advocate for transportation options that work for residents of all ages
  • ​Encourage events and activities that bring our community together
Growth brings opportunity, but only if infrastructure and services keep pace.
​My Commitment:
  • Support an "Infrastructure First" approach to growth
  • Advocate for roads, sidewalks, parks, and services that keep pace with development
  • Promote transparent and responsible use of development charges
  • Protect the quality of life that makes Ward 7 a great place to live
The new joint-use campus on Wesley Boulevard, featuring a recreation centre, elementary schools,
daycares, and a library, represents a tremendous opportunity for Ward 7.
​My Commitment:
  • Support safe access for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers
  • Encourage strong partnerships between schools, recreation, library, and childcare services
  • Promote community use and programming opportunities
  • Advocate for responsible long-term financial stewardship
The City cannot control inflation rates or grocery prices, ​but it can make choices that help keep costs manageable and improve the quality of life for Ward 7 families.
​My Commitment:
  • Support a wider range of housing options for all income levels
  • Keep property taxes fair and ensure value for every dollar
  • Improve transit and mobility choices that save time and money
  • Invest in services, parks, and programs that strengthen our community
  • Find inefficiencies, reduce waste, and deliver quality that lasts
