Why are you running? I'm running because I love this city and I'm excited about all the opportunities ahead of us. Born and raised in New Westminster and, with family roots in the city tracing back 101 years, I'm looking forward to what's ahead for the city. New West is built on a rich history, but there's an exciting vibe with a lot of new people and businesses moving here, and I want to help keep the momentum going.  I'm here to listen and get things done that are in the best interest for New Westminster.

Top Three issues: Family support, smart growth, economic development, community engagement, transportation planning and youth leadership. But if I needed to pick three, they would be economic development, smart growth and of course transportation.
