A career of service.

A commitment to Chilliwack.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to serve people across healthcare and trauma care, education, youth and family services, recovery support, and community leadership. These experiences have shaped how I lead: by listening, working together, and taking action.

I completed residency training in Maxillofacial Surgery, including experience with a tertiary-care trauma team caring for patients with complex injuries. I later served as an Assistant Professor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, combining clinical care with teaching, mentorship, and leadership.

Today, I work with School District No. 33, supporting children, youth, and families, while also working with individuals navigating substance-use recovery. These roles have reinforced my belief in early intervention, accountability, evidence-informed decisions, and collaboration.

For more than a decade, I’ve also been rolling up my sleeves in Chilliwack. Through Streams Foundation Canada and other community initiatives and collaborations. I’ve worked alongside residents, volunteers, local businesses, organizations, and the City on projects to address food security, homelessness, neighborhood cleanups, senior support, resource accessibility, multicultural events, and community-building.

This work has given me a firsthand understanding of both what makes Chilliwack strong and where we can do better. I am ready to turn my experience into systemic change for our city.

I believe Chilliwack deserves practical, accountable leadership that listens and delivers.

My approach is simple: listen, bring people together, and get to work.

This is the leadership Chilliwack deserves — and I’m ready to deliver it.

WHY ME?

I’m running because I believe Chilliwack deserves leaders who are proactive and ready to do hands on work within the community and create systemic change.

My experience has been built in the community itself. Through healthcare, trauma-informed work, youth and family services, the recovery sector, advocacy, and grassroots community initiatives, I have worked directly with people facing some of the most difficult challenges in our community.

I’ve seen what happens when people fall through the cracks. I’ve seen the impact that gaps in housing, recovery services, and access to basic necessities can have on individuals and families. And I’ve also seen what is possible when community members, organizations, professionals, and local leaders come together with a shared commitment to finding solutions.

That experience has taught me that leadership is about more than having the right ideas. It is about listening, showing up, asking difficult questions, bringing people together, and following through.

I will bring a perspective to City Council that is grounded in hands-on community service and real-world experience. I understand the importance of responsible decision-making, but I also understand that behind every policy, budget decision, and community plan, there  are real people whose lives are affected by those decisions.

I don’t believe City Hall should operate in isolation from the people it serves. I believe residents should feel heard, respected, and represented. Elected officials have a responsibility to be accessible, accountable, and willing to engage with the community.

I’m running because I care about where our community is going and because I believe we have an important role to play in shaping that future.

I’m not asking for your vote because I want a seat at the table. I’m asking for your vote because I’m ready to work for the people sitting around it.
