Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team

 I am a small business owner and first-term Nanaimo city councillor seeking re-election. I have a background in conservation biology and social work and worked as a registered clinical counsellor in the prison system. I owned and operated a tree service business for almost a decade and recently converted it to a worker-owned cooperative. During my time on council, I was elected by my peers to serve as a director-at-large on the Union of BC Municipalities. In that role, I lobbied the province on behalf of all BC local governments for greater action on affordable housing, homelessness, and climate change.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
I'm running for re-election because I want to continue working for a safe and thriving Nanaimo that is environmentally sustainable and full of opportunity for everyone. Last term council laid a strong foundation; this term is an opportunity for bolder action to reach our goals.
