For many years, my work has been about listening to people for well-being improvement , I have worked with children and youth, seniors, families, and members of the First Nations, LGBTQIA2S+ community and Newcomers, "I have had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultures, generations, and life experiences.”

I am listening to parents worried about their children, people experiencing stress and isolation, seniors facing changes in their lives, and individuals trying to recover from trauma and difficult circumstances. I have also seen the strength people can find when they feel heard, supported, and connected to their community.

That experience is a big part of why I decided to run for Chilliwack City Council. I want to bring what I have learned from listening to people into public service not their private stories, but a deeper understanding of the everyday challenges that families and individuals can face.

I believe we can do more to address problems early, strengthen families, create opportunities for young people, support seniors, and help people stay connected before difficulties become crises.

The values that guide me are simple: listening, caring, respect, inclusion, prevention, collaboration, and practical action. I believe people may have different backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives, but everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and to have an opportunity to be heard.
