I am a proud resident of the City of Courtenay, and gratefully acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation.

I am honoured to serve as a Councillor for the City of Courtenay, and as the Chair of the Comox Valley Regional District. Since being elected in 2018,  I have consistently sought out opportunities to work with and learn from my fellow elected officials at the local, regional, provincial, and national levels.
