About Me
I live in Ward 2 with my husband, two wonderful children and a big lovable dog.
I am a proud graduate of the Ontario public school system and the University of Toronto. Excellence in teaching and innovative programming at my local schools inspired my love of science, successful pursuit of a post-secondary degree in biology, and early career in research. I understand the importance of a strong and supportive public school system to ensure that every student in Halton Region can achieve their full potential.
In addition to a passion for quality public education, I bring to the Halton District School Board over 20 years of relevant experience from a range of professional and volunteer roles. In addition to serving as a trustee I am currently the Vice-Chair of the Board of a provincial regulator that ensures competent, safe and ethical health care for Ontarians. For several years I worked with a local charity that supports children and families living with poverty. I have been a member of School Councils and active volunteer at our local schools for a range of programs that include: literacy support for primary students, breakfast and lunch programs, fun days for students, and fundraising.
As an HDSB parent and trustee since 2022 I have a deep appreciation for the role that trustees play in helping families navigate the education system and ensure positive outcomes for students.
