Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Earned a diploma from BCIT and more recently received a business degree from Capilano University.

Served as a Director for a Burnaby non-profit housing organization for six years and currently work in co-op housing. Serve on co-op board where I live.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
Council needs to represent all members of the community and I don’t see that diversity there.

When I was at BCIT and volunteered with the video department shooting council meetings, that’s when I became interested in city council. Many of the same councillors were behind the desk back then in the 90’s. I see a great deal of potential to make council more accessible to residents.
