Ward 2I'm running because I'm a proud parent of two children, and like a lot of parents in Ward 2, I believe that parents, guardians, the community and schools can work together to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. I am running to ensure that every student is given the support and opportunities they deserve. As a former researcher at the University of Manitoba, I have seen firsthand how a strong educational foundation cultivates critical thinking, resilience, and innovation. And as a business owner who built and runs my own business here in Winnipeg, I've had to make budgets transparent, explain decisions clearly, and answer to the people I serve. That's the standard I want to bring to River East Transcona school board.
Promoting Student Success
Four(4) priorities, grounded in what the community is already telling us matters.
Every student deserves the tools and support they need to succeed. I’ll advocate for the funding, learning materials, technology, and support programs students need to succeed and thrive.
Supporting staff is investing in students. I'll advocate for the resources, manageable workloads, and support teachers need to do their best work for our students every day.
I'll bring responsible financial stewardship to the boardroom, ensuring every dollar is spent thoughtfully, transparently, and with student success at the centre of every decision.
River East Transcona is Manitoba's second-largest school division, and enrollment has grown roughly 11% since 2019. I'll advocate for planning and facilities that grow with our students, not behind them.
