I will continue my work as your Georgina Public School and look forward to also be representing East Gwillimbury if  re hired. As the Trustee I will continue to see through the initiatives I have already started to put in place for our students. I look forward to continuing my role, because I believe that I am a strong voice for Georgina and East Gwillimbury families. I continue to be active in the education and safety of children, youth and adults, as I have been for over 31 years in a number of roles. I was a former Private School teacher and an Early Childhood Educator for over 19 years.

I am currently your Georgina Public School Trustee, and continue to work for The Salvation Army as an operational trainer for homeless shelters throughout York Region, Peel and Durham. I am also a self-employed Health and Safety trainer, and a past member of CPAST human trafficking committee. I continue to be actively involved throughout our community events, committees, local media and as Chair of Jericho Youth Services and past Vice Chair of the Briar Hill Cemetery Board.

As a working mother with two children in our Public School System, I understand what it takes to try to balance and juggle family and life challenges. We all have an interest in our community and our children and would like to find the time to voice what we need. Thank you for allowing me to continue to be your voice and a link between the School Board System and Georgina and East Gwillimbury residents.
