I bring the time, energy, and optimism to serve our community.
With experience in planning and collaboration, I know how to work through long reports, connect policies and goals, and bring people together around what matters most. I’m stepping up because I care about Sooke’s future and I’m ready to be a positive and reasoned voice on Council.
I’m not new to the Council chambers.
I’ve been there for years, listening, learning, and contributing. As Chair of the Official Community Plan Advisory Committee, a member of the Land Use and Development Committee, and a regular attendee of council meetings, I’ve built an understanding of local governance and the values that matter to Sooke residents.
I’m committed to careful planning, caring for our environment, and inclusive decision-making.
I can’t promise easy answers, but I will listen, lead honestly, and work to preserve what makes Sooke special.
Let’s protect what we love, and fix what we need.
I’m running to support the vision that Sooke residents have already shaped through our Official Community Plan, Transportation and Parks Master Plans, Climate Action Plan, and other important community initiatives. These plans reflect years of public input and collaboration, and I want to make sure they’re respected and implemented.
Why I'm Running
Keeping It Sooke!
Let's protect what we love, and plan wisely for what’s next.
