My Story
Oakville is where my family has built our life and where I have spent years volunteering, supporting local organizations and bringing people together. I'm running because I want to apply that same hands-on approach to the decisions that directly affect Ward 3 residents — growth, safety, taxes, infrastructure and local services.
As a CPA, CGA with more than two decades of finance and business experience, I know how to read a budget, challenge assumptions, assess risk and ask whether spending is actually delivering results. Those are skills I will bring to Town Council.
I'm not running to make bigger promises. I'm running to ask better questions, make sound decisions and get results for Ward 3. Preserve what works. Fix what doesn't. Serve with accountability.
