Thank you to Freshet News for covering my announcement today that I’m running for Coquitlam City Council.
Local media plays an incredibly important role in keeping residents informed, strengthening community connections, and holding public institutions accountable. I believe there’s an even bigger role cities can play in supporting a healthy local news ecosystem.

Today, I'm proud to announce that I am running for Coquitlam City Council.
For years, I've had the privilege of leading organizations, building partnerships, supporting local families, and bringing people together around a common goal: making our community stronger.
As our city continues to grow, we need practical leadership, responsible decision-making, and a clear vision for the future. I believe local government works best when it listens, collaborates, and focuses on delivering results for residents.
I'm ready to bring that approach to City Hall.
I invite you to watch my announcement video and join me as we work together to build an even stronger Coquitlam.

We are aware of the situation affecting the Britannia Hockey Academy and the uncertainty it creates for students and families planning for next season.
While we understand there are geographic and district considerations that may make solutions challenging, the Coquitlam Express and Express Hockey Academy are open to conversations with families who may be exploring alternative hockey and academic pathways.
Our goal is simply to provide information, answer questions, and see if there are opportunities where we may be able to help students continue their development both on and off the ice.
Families interested in learning more are welcome to reach out to me directly, [email protected] or 250-327-2071.
