I was born and raised in the Comox Valley and am a parent of three children who attend our district schools.
My involvement in public education began 14 years ago when I joined my oldest child’s school PAC.
Reconciliation & Indigenous Nations
Indigenous Schooling
Reconciliation is something I believe requires all of us to keep learning, listening, and reflecting on the way we approach our work
I want Indigenous students and families to know that their voices matter, their cultures and identities belong in our schools, and that I am committed to continuing to learn how I can better support them
Schools & Public Education
Bullying & Bigotry
I fully support SOGI 1 2 3 and the work being done in our schools to create safe, inclusive and welcoming environments for every student
Inclusion, dignity and respect are not optional. There should be no place in our schools for discrimination or exclusion.

Over the years, I have held several PAC executive positions and served on the Comox Valley DPAC executive. Through DPAC, I had opportunities to participate in district committees, workshops, consultations, and strategic planning
Those experiences gave me a much broader understanding of our school district and showed me how important it is for students, families, staff, and community members to have meaningful opportunities to be heard.
Throughout my time as a PAC executive, I have st Over the years, I have held several PAC executive positions and served on the Comox Valley DPAC executive. Through DPAC, I had opportunities to participate in district committees, workshops, consultations, and strategic planning rongly believed that supporting students also means supporting the people who work with them every day. Whether it was helping fund classroom needs, field trips and outside learning opportunities, or encouraging teachers and school staff to attend PAC meetings and tell us what they needed, their voices have always mattered to me. Teachers and school staff are at the heart of our education system, and their experience and perspectives are essential when decisions are being made about our schools.
Accessibility and inclusive education are also very important to me. Two of my children are visually impaired, and their experiences have taught me a great deal about advocacy, accessibility, and the importance of ensuring students have the supports they need to participate and learn. In 2025, I had the opportunity to participate in accessibility audits with the District Accessibility Committee. It was rewarding to see where our district is doing well while also having the opportunity to identify barriers and areas where we can continue to improve.
My years with PAC and DPAC have also allowed me to connect with many families. Sometimes that has meant simply being a listening ear, and other times it has meant helping parents understand how to advocate for their child or navigate the education system. Those conversations have taught me a lot and reinforced how important communication, transparency, and relationships are within our schools.
Outside of my involvement in education, I work as an NSC Compliance Officer for a local trucking company. My professional role involves regulatory compliance, workplace safety, policy, documentation, and working with both employees and management. It has strengthened my ability to navigate policy, ask questions, listen to different perspectives, and understand the importance of accountability and responsible decision-making.
I believe good trustees never stop learning. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from students, families, staff, and our community throughout this process.
There are so many great things happening in our district, and there are also areas where we can continue to grow and better support the people within it.
