For 23 years, I have lived in Oakville's Ward 5. It has been my community and my commitment.
Throughout my life, I have believed that strong communities are built when people come together to support one another, solve problems, and create opportunities for others.
- That inspired me to found Hockey Cares, an organization dedicated to helping youth and families through sport and community support. For this, I won the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025, and the Care Award in 2026.
- This commitment guided my work as Chair of SafetyNet, where I helped bring together community partners to address important local issues like food insecurity and precarity.
- It also led me to volunteer with SAVIS, supporting individuals and families during some of life's most difficult moments.
These experiences taught me how to listen, how to bring people together, and how to turn ideas into action.
That's why I am running for Ward 5 Councillor.
My commitment is simple:
- 01Smart Growth.
- 02Enhanced Mobility.
- 03Smarter Advocacy.
These three priorities will guide every decision I make on behalf of residents.
Building Ward 5's Future Together
Ward 5 Priorities
Smart Growth
Growth is coming to Oakville — the question is how we manage it. I support carefully planned, balanced growth that protects our neighbourhoods and provides housing for families, seniors and young professionals without excessive density on the Trafalgar corridor.

Enhanced Mobility
Traffic congestion is one of the most common concerns I hear. As Ward 5 grows, we need faster, more reliable transit that connects residents throughout Oakville and offers a real alternative to driving.

Smarter Advocacy
Leadership is about more than attending meetings and casting votes. It means listening, communicating openly and bringing groups of residents together. Ward 5 deserves a councillor who is accessible, accountable and always puts residents first.
