Leadership Grounded in Experience & Community

With more than 20 years of experience in finance and organizational leadership, along with experience supporting Indigenous students and families in public education, I bring a broad perspective to the role of a School Trustee. My work has included financial stewardship, governance, strategic planning, human resources, student advocacy, and Indigenous cultural programming.

​

I believe strong public education begins with listening, responsible decision-making, meaningful relationships, and keeping students at the heart of every decision.

EXPERIENCE & COMMUNITY

My experience brings together more than 20 years in finance and organizational leadership with hands-on experience supporting students and families in public education. Within Central Okanagan Public Schools, I worked directly with students, families, educators, administrators, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community partners.

​

I bring experience in financial stewardship, governance, strategic planning, human resources, student advocacy, and Indigenous cultural programming, along with a commitment to listening to our community and making thoughtful, accountable decisions that put students first.
