Biography

I'm a (nearly) lifelong resident of Port Coquitlam looking to create an affordable, sustainable & engaged city!

I work alongside amazing advocacy organizations as a campaign strategist with New/Mode and have a passion for research and problem solving (inspired by my Political Science Degree from SFU).

Beyond politics, I love playing in bands, going on long walks, and talking about movies!
