Biography
With over 20 years of dedicated experience in the social services sector in Edmonton, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges and injustices faced by our community. My journey began with a deep-rooted desire to address the needs of children and families, which has motivated me to actively seek solutions and create meaningful change. Through my social entrepreneurial business, I have worked tirelessly to improve lives and empower those who are experiencing difficult times and are overlooked.
My commitment to social justice and community well-being drives me to pursue a political platform that prioritizes the needs of all citizens. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, and a livable wage. As your elected representative, I will focus on the following three key initiatives to serve our community:
Prioritizing Healthcare Access: I will advocate for a healthcare system that provides available, comprehensive, affordable, and timely services for everyone. This includes pushing for increased funding for mental health services and ensuring that rural and marginalized communities receive the support they need.
Promoting Affordable Housing: I am dedicated to implementing policies that increase the availability of affordable housing options. This includes working with local developers and government bodies to create inclusive housing projects and ensuring that no family has to choose between a roof over their head and basic necessities.
Increasing Livable Wages: I will fight for policies that ensure fair wages for all workers, enabling families to thrive rather than just survive. This involves supporting minimum wage increases, advocating for workers’ rights, and promoting job training programs to equip our workforce for the jobs of the future.
My vision for our community and Canada’s future is one where every person has the opportunity to achieve their dreams without facing systemic barriers. I envision a healthcare system that is not only accessible but also equitable; a housing market that provides safe, affordable options for all; and an economy that values the hard work of every citizen. Together, we can build a future where justice, compassion, and opportunity are at the forefront of our society. Let’s work together to create a brighter tomorrow for our community and for all Canadians.
