Will Treat Climate like a Crisis
A Climate Champion
Port Moody needs to address with urgency how the realities of climate change will impact us, while also supporting shifts towards a lower carbon future. It is estimated that up to 50% of Canada’s carbon emissions are influenced by decisions made in municipal politics. As a City Councillor, I will bring a focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation to the conversation.
Protecting the Charm of Port Moody
A Small Business Advocate
I will focus on the needs of the workers, small business owners, and community when planning our economic growth. We need to balance the character and charm of small businesses that deliver what we need as a community with the long term stability of good union jobs. I will ensure as our population grows, our economy grows in ways that both keep workers in Port Moody and retain the charm and small town feel of Port Moody.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your perspective on Development?
I have never accepted and will never accept donations from development interests to ensure no conflict of interest. Our Community is growing, and I think decisions around new development projects all come down to trade-off questions. I will prioritize adding affordable housing and family friendly units (3 bedroom units are estimated at 0% vacancy in Port Moody) as a main priority. Secondary priorities for me include usable commercial space for small businesses (they need to be small enough to be affordable and structured well to suit the kind of businesses we want) and community common areas or benefits.
What is your perspective on Congestion?
With much of our rush-hour congestion due to thoroughfare traffic - this is a complex issue. I will follow the guidance of traffic experts on where changes will improve safety and alleviate long delays. I will work to ensure the everyday essentials are available closer to home for more Port Moody residents to reduce the need to drive across town. I want to make sure those who choose to walk or bike can do so safely by closing safety gaps in our infrastructure.
Why are you Qualified?
As a Director of Product Management, my job has been to ensure people with very different priorities are able to come together around one plan. This has required me to be very good at fully understanding the concerns that people have through discovery work, and very good at negotiating to help prioritize between conflicting desires. I am doing discovery work now by talking with Port Moody residents about their concerns (and would love to talk with you!) and would be honoured to serve on Council to help prioritize what is next for our Community.
