Why I'm Asking for Your Vote

St. Mark is my home, and I believe deeply in its potential. For far too long, our parish has struggled to attract the investment, opportunities and attention it deserves. Our people have the talent, determination and ambition to achieve so much more.

I believe St. Mark needs a new generation of leadership, one that is present, listens to its people, takes responsibility and works with determination to move our parish forward.

I am stepping forward because I believe I have something meaningful to contribute.

Here is what I bring to the table:

  1. 01

    Leadership Experience

    Years of experience in education and school administration, leading people, solving problems and making decisions.

  2. 02

    Deep Community Roots

    St. Mark is where I grew up, where my values were shaped and where my commitment to service began.

  3. 03

    A Record of Service

    A career dedicated to supporting young people, working with families and helping others succeed.

  4. 04

    Compassion and Integrity

    A belief that leadership must be guided by honesty, fairness, empathy and respect for every person.

  5. 05

    A Vision Backed by a Plan

    A People's Manifesto developed with residents, setting out specific priorities and commitments for our parish.

  6. 06

    A Commitment to Accountability

    A proposed approach to representation built around accessibility, regular community engagement and transparent progress reporting.

On November 5, I am seeking your vote to represent St. Mark in Parliament.

I invite you to examine my experience, the values I stand for and the plan I am putting forward for our parish.
