Your Advocate at Council
West Vancouver deserves a Councillor who is available, approachable, and committed to helping residents navigate local government.
I believe elected officials should do more than attend meetings. They should be available, responsive, and willing to help residents solve problems.
Whether you’re dealing with permits, development, traffic, parks, engineering, bylaws, or neighbourhood concerns, I will be a strong advocate for you at Council. My commitment is simple: to be accessible, communicate openly, and to ensure every resident knows their voice matters.
As a lifelong Vancouverite and West Vancouver resident for the past four years, business owner, homeowner, and mother, I understand both the opportunities and the challenges facing our community. Every decision I make will be guided by one principle: putting West Vancouver residents first while protecting what makes our community special.
A Resident First Advocate Who Listens
West Vancouver deserves a councillor who puts residents first - not politics, pressure, or personal agendas. Your concerns deserve to be heard. Your tax dollars deserve to be respected. Your voice deserves a seat at the table.
My Committments to West Vancouver
The decisions made at council affect every resident. These are the values I'll bring to every vote and every conversation.
Supporting Seniors
West Vancouver should be a community where people can age with dignity, remain connected, and continue to have a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their lives.
Advocate for Zero Property Tax Increases
No unnecessary property tax increases. Every proposed increase must be clearly justified, transparent and tied to services residents value.
100% Support for West Vancouver Police
Ensuring the West Vancouver Police Department has the resources, staffing, and support needed to keep our neighbourhoods safe.
Maintaining What We Have Before Adding More
Reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, improving permit timelines, and creating a municipal culture that helps residents and local businesses move good ideas forward.
Fiscal Responsibility - Careful Spending
Carefully reviewing spending, prioritizing essential services and existing infrastructure, and ensuring residents receive clear value for every tax dollar before approving new projects, programs or unnecessary property tax increases.
