Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Born and raised in Abbotsford, I’m a public school graduate and current School Trustee. I’m committed to accessible representation, strong public education, and putting students first. I’m seeking a full term to continue showing up, listening, and serving our community.

I was born and raised in Abbotsford and am a proud graduate of our public school system. In October 2025, I was elected to the Abbotsford Board of Education, becoming the youngest elected official in our city’s history. Since then, I have worked to bring an accessible, community-focused voice to the Board while staying connected with students, families and our schools.

I currently serve on the Finance & Facilities Committee and District Planning Team, chair the Community Matters Selection Committee, and represent Abbotsford on the BC School Trustees Association’s Fraser Valley Branch Executive.

Outside the Board, I have been actively involved in youth leadership, nonprofit service, local business and community initiatives. I’m seeking a full four-year term to continue serving the community that raised and educated me, with a focus on listening, showing up and keeping students at the centre of our decisions.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
I’m running again to continue the work I started after being elected in 2025. I’ve gained valuable experience, built stronger connections with students, families and schools, and I’m seeking a full term to keep showing up, listening and serving Abbotsford.
