Accountable government
“Accountable. Sustainable. Transparent. Those principles weren't born in a campaign. They came from raising two kids, surviving cancer, rebuilding after disability, working 20+ years in physical labour, and studying sustainable city planning. Real life shapes practical policy.”

Community services
“Like many families, I've watched affordability become harder, roads get busier, and everyday life become more expensive. Living with vision loss has also shaped how I see accessibility, not as a checkbox, but as something that should be woven into every decision we make.”

Growth and infrastructure
“In researching the proposed Data center I am not adamantly opposed. I have found that there are alternative ways to make centers better to the environment however as an artist I am mixed about the use of AI. Its something that as a councillor I would need to ensure guardrails are in place to protect residents, our environment and our infastructure”
