Hello! Nice to meet you….

Since moving into Ward 6 in 2013, my family and I have been proud to call this city home. We chose Guelph because it offered the perfect environment to raise our young family, including a family-friendly environment with parks, city amenities, and a sense of local community. Our commitment to this city runs deep, and I’m passionate about contributing to its continued growth and well-being.

I am active within the neighborhood by volunteering extensively within the school community and minor sports in the area. This has allowed me to engage and participate with other residents within the area and gain a sense of where improvements need to be made.

Over the last 13 years, while living in Ward 6, I have seen a significant transformation of growth and the needs of Guelph residents increase. As a proud Guelphite, I am running for City Councillor in Ward 6 because I believe in the power of community and collaboration, and I believe we need responsible leadership to ensure changes are made that respond to the needs of the residents.

Let me work for you to represent your vision of Ward 6. Let’s build a better future, together.
