About Me
When I was elected in 2021, Ward 2 residents were looking for a different kind of leadership—someone who would listen, be honest about tough decisions, and stay focused on core responsibilities. It was a time of uncertainty and change, and I worked hard to earn the trust of our community. That trust meant—and still means—a great deal to me.
As we look forward to the next four years of council, we see Calgary is at a turning point. Over the past few years, we’ve seen the pressure on families grow—whether it’s affordability, public safety, or trust in local government. As your councillor, I’ve focused on practical, community-driven solutions that reflect the real needs of Ward 2.
Since being elected, I’ve worked to bring more transparency and accountability to City Hall. I was the first member of Council to publish my full voting record with explanations for major decisions—because you deserve to know where your councillor stands and why.
I’ve also brought forward motions based directly on what I’ve heard from residents. I led the successful push to allow bikes on C-Trains, and I brought a motion to repeal the single-use bag bylaw after widespread concern from businesses and residents. That bylaw was causing confusion and frustration, and removing it was a win for common sense.
​
When disturbing graphic flyers were being delivered to homes, I acted quickly to bring a motion regulating their distribution—which passed unanimously. I’ve also worked with the province to allow fire trucks to use blue emergency lights, a move that improves safety and visibility for everyone on the road.
​
I’ve taken strong positions when I believe City Hall has moved in the wrong direction.
I voted against the last three budgets because they raised taxes without clearly improving services or addressing our core responsibilities as a municipality. I’ve also challenged unrealistic transit spending—bringing forward a motion to reallocate unused funds for electric buses to compressed natural gas buses. That motion didn’t pass, but I’ll continue to push for smart, achievable solutions that improve service for Calgarians.
​
On infrastructure, I’ve been urging the City for years to take the condition of our aging water systems seriously. Long before the recent pipe failure, I had flagged the need to prioritize critical infrastructure upgrades. We can’t afford to wait for things to break before acting—and I’ll keep pressing for long-term investment in the systems our city relies on.
Through my work on the Calgary Police Commission, the Audit Committee, and Infrastructure and Planning, I’ve focused on getting the basics right—public safety, smart budgeting, and services that actually meet people’s needs. Ward 2 is home to one of the most diverse, family-oriented populations in the city, and I’m proud to live here with my husband, two young kids, and our family dog.
​
I’m running for re-election because I believe Ward 2 deserves a strong, independent voice on Council—someone who listens, who shows their work, and who never forgets who they represent.
​
Let’s keep building a Calgary that works for the people who live here. I’d love to hear from you.

Graphic Flyers: In response to resident concerns from the harm caused by inappropriate images delivered to our community’s front doors, I put forward a motion to regulate the distribution of graphic images, which passed 14-0.

Electric Vehicles: I introduced a motion to reallocate funding from EV buses to compressed natural gas buses, due to our inability to purchase EV buses. Unfortunately this amendment failed with a 6-9 vote.
