Welcome to my site!
I use this space to provide context to my decisions as a member of Kingsville’s town council and share what I’m doing in our community.

If you have questions or just want to chat, please contact me. Regardless of your reason for being here, thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to read what I have to share.


I was elected as Deputy Mayor of the Town of Kingsville in 2022, after first serving as a Councillor in 2018. I am also the Executive Director of the Kingsville Community Centre.

I am an open-minded, life-long learner, and I do my best to be responsive to the needs, ideas, and concerns of our community. I am fortunate to work alongside incredible people in both of my roles: colleagues, volunteers, community partners, and residents, who are passionate about making Kingsville a great place to live, work, and grow.

I am seeking re-election and look forward to sharing more about my priorities, thoughts, and hopes for our community in the months ahead. I’ll be sharing reflections on the work we’ve done, the opportunities ahead, and the challenges we need to navigate together.

I have several posts in the works and just need to make the time to complete them. If you don’t want to miss new posts, subscribe at the bottom of the page.

My Commitment to the Health & Well-being of Kingsville Residents

It’s something my whole family believes in.  Public service does not begin and end at the Council table. Serving on Council is a…

How I See It: Running as an Independent

I have a great deal of respect for the members of our current Council. We’ve brought different perspectives and ideas to the table, and worked together on things that we believe are important for Kingsville. And I want to wish every candidate who has put their name forward the very best. It takes courage to…

Taxes: Balancing Affordability and Investment

No one enjoys paying property taxes, especially when affordability is a concern for many. I’ve been asked a lot recently about where property tax dollars go, why taxes have increased, and how Kingsville compares with other municipalities. To help answer those questions, I’ve adapted a helpful explanation originally shared by Mayor Bailey of Lakeshore, using…

Spread a Little Happiness

I have the pleasure of working with some incredibly generous people in our community. This was our fourth event with The Bike Kitchen, and it never disappoints seeing kids connect with bicycles, with big smiles, excited to ride. All funds raised go directly toward refurbishing more bikes so even more children can benefit. A big…

How I See It: Greenhouses, Growth and Fairness for Kingsville

Greenhouses are an important part of Kingsville’s economy and, increasingly, part of the future of food production. Through controlled growing environments, advanced technology, water recirculation systems, automation, research and innovation, and year-round production, the greenhouse industry has transformed how food is grown and supplied to markets across North America. The sector provides jobs, investment, and…
