I'm running for East Gwillimbury Council because I care deeply about our community and believe positive, collaborative leadership gets results.
Tim and I chose to make Ward 3 our home because of its strong sense of community and the people who make it special. I'm committed to protecting what makes it special while helping build an even stronger future.
20 years of financial leadership. Years of community service. A collaborative leader focused on responsible decisions and real results.
For more than 15 years, I've been serving East Gwillimbury through volunteer leadership with more than eight local organizations and by co-founding a bereavement support charity that continues to help families in our community.
