Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
I have been advocating for SD61 students at ground level and the Board level for 9 years. I have been a stakeholder and community builder since my first son entered an inner city school.

I was born and raised in a small coal mining community on Cape Breton Island. My family and community have always been close knit. I have resided in Victoria's Fernwood area since 2005. When my oldest son went to school, I wanted to be as involved as possible in his education.

I began volunteering for everything I could and eventually became the PAC president. I advocated for the needs of vulnerable students in inner city schools by ensuring there were safe routes to and from school, painted murals to deter graffiti and advocated for a music space when the school lost theirs due to overcrowding.

I was asked to join the VCPAC as a director of communications and then I was elected the Chair. As VCPAC Chair I represented all parents in SD61 at the Board Table and advocated for individual families who were in need of assistance.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
Frustration. As a parent and parent representative we are sick of dysfunction and bickering. It is time to get to work on equity and education our children.
