Let’s talk.

​

I like to tell people I am a Calgarian by choice. What does that mean? It means my family and I moved here for the opportunities—and we stayed because of those opportunities and the people we now call neighbours and friends.

 

I am always looking for ways to get to know people and to see how I can help. My professional experience includes time with non-profits, public health and safety organizations, and working for public organizations. In each role, I’ve made it my business to identify and enact improvements and efficiencies. As I see it, good ideas are essential to providing better services at lower costs.

 

I also have solid experience in conflict resolution and mediation. I know how to manage schools and recreational facilities to give families enhanced access to essential services. I am passionate about public health and safety, too. Our city is in the throes of a continental crisis related to opioids. This is more than a downtown issue and Ward 2 deserves input. Indeed, we deserve a voice in the City Council chamber—and we haven’t had that for years.

 

My husband, Dave, and I moved to Calgary seven years ago, but my local roots run deep. My grandmother sang in the grandstand show at the Calgary Stampede and my uncle was a rodeo cowboy. 

 

I share all of this because I am eager to represent Ward 2 at City Council. This is a place where people work together to create opportunities. Please reach out. I want to know what you love about this city. I want to hear what you think would make Calgary an even better place to live. 

 

Let’s talk. Let’s connect.
