about me

I care about Port Moody and as a long-time resident I have been a strong voice for the needs of our community on issues such as housing, parks, and whole-of-community planning:

• Served on the Port Moody Parks and Recreation Commission for the last 4 years where I have advocated for parkland expansion and improvement across the city.
• Lead author on two key reports endorsed by council serving to guide Port Moody’s planning for parkland acquisition and building a more dog friendly community.
• Member of the Port Moody Land Use Committee since 2021 where I have represented a vision for responsible land use planning in our city.
• Active in following municipal discussions and championing issues to city council. 

My work experience and education reflect my dedication and passion for helping people, communities and the environment:

• Work as a Senior Policy Analyst at the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA).  My work supports FNHA’s strategic-level planning for public health response activities including for COVID-19, environmental emergencies, and the ongoing residential school findings. 
• Hold a Masters Degree in Resource and Environmental Management from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Science degree from Simon Fraser University 

When not at work or focused on municipal issues, you can find me enjoying Port Moody and BC’s amazing trails and parks with my partner Rick, two wonderful step children, and spunky dog Ace.  I recognize and honour that I live, work and play on the unceded and traditional lands of the Coast Salish peoples.
