I firmly believe every child has the right to succeed in their education and to finish school with a strong foundation on which to build their future whether it be in the trades, business, post-secondary or other fields of interest. Achievement looks different for all students and we need to support and encourage this.

 

Born and raised in the Rainy River district, I spent almost two decades away pursuing my education and career goals. I recently returned and am proud to call Alberton home. I feel my work and education background in project management, communications, policy and contract development, and best business practices is a strong asset. My career has taken me from large private sector business, arts organizations, to working on TV and film sets. Having sat on numerous boards, I am confident in my overall knowledge and ability to effectively handle all needs that may arise as your trustee.

 

Education takes place in the classroom and our efforts must focus on enhancing and enriching what goes on there. We must provide and maintain safe and healthy environments, both physically and emotionally, for all students and employees with up to date facilities and resources. We must continue efforts of employee recruitment and retention which serves to benefit our communities.

 

While focused on accountability and fiscal responsibility, I'm committed to engaging and working collaboratively with other trustees, students, educators, parents and the public to ensure all viewpoints are given the consideration they deserve in meeting common goals.
