I work as a pharmacy technician, I am a mother of an 18-year-old son, I ran as a candidate in the last provincial election for the BC Green Party and will be running in the upcoming federal election for the Green Party of Canada. I have lived in the Fraser Valley for 25 years and have been in Aldergrove for the past 12 years. I am working toward a bachelor's degree in Policy and Geography. I want to be in a position to facilitate change, and hope to learn how policy can help us make the changes necessary to protect our future on this planet, while we maintain our economy and balance the scales of power in our country. I am new to public service since I spent many years as a single parent and worked multiple jobs, however, I am determined to be involved now in as many ways as possible. I believe strongly in the message and platform of the Green party and look forward to many years fighting to get more representation into our government
