As a St. Catharines City Councillor, I have the privilege of putting my passion for community empowerment into action to drive positive change. I've been honoured to champion and guide various community and neighbourhood organizations, fostering impactful initiatives at the neighbourhood level.Although challenging, politicians must have difficult conversations about issues that impact all of us, such as harm reduction, the need for affordable non-market housing, and the future of transportation. From navigating the intricacies of government relations to advocating for equity and accountability, I bring a wealth of experience both from the non-profit sector and all four levels of government. My commitment extends beyond mere rhetoric; I actively engage with stakeholders, ensuring their voices are heard and considered in every decision. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach. By working hand-in-hand with fellow Councillors, dedicated City staff, and, most importantly, our residents, I strive to create an inclusive and prosperous society for everyone.
