About me

I’m running for Strathmore Council in 2025 because I believe in our town and its future. My focus is on keeping taxes fair and spending responsible, protecting the small-town charm we all value, and supporting economic growth that helps families, businesses, and future generations thrive. I believe in open communication, accountability, and listening to the people of Strathmore. Every resident deserves a voice in the decisions that shape our town. By working together, we can balance growth with community values, strengthen our economy, and protect what makes Strathmore unique.

My platform

I aim to create a place to live for a lifetime, where residents can grow up, receive an education, work, and retire right here in Strathmore.

I believe that building a resilient community involves balancing growth with respect for people and the environment. Every decision made should support long-term sustainability, while meeting the immediate needs of residents.

I am a strong supporter of practical solutions that strengthen local economies, create opportunities, and ensure safety and well-being for all. That means supporting responsible development, protecting natural resources, and making sure essential services are reliable and accessible.

Collaboration is at the heart of my approach. By working closely with community members, businesses, and Indigenous partners, we can build a future that is not only prosperous but also inclusive and respectful of diverse perspectives.

My Experience

My career started from the ground up, and now culminated as a leader in managing  development projects and portfolios  across North America. With this solid background in environmental management, I am highly skilled in Health, Safety & Environmental protection, stakeholder engagement, liability assessment, and risk mitigation. I have a proven track record of delivering projects safely, on time, and under budget, while building high-performing teams, mentoring junior staff, and creating value through innovation and operational excellence.

 

Specifically, my expertise lies in End-of-Field-Life (EFL) activities such from well abandonments and decommissioning to demolition, remediation, and reclamation, delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable results. I will bring the lessons learned from leading complex environmental and reclamation projects into my platform for Strathmore Council. With this experience, I will advocate for sound governance, responsible fiscal management, and thoughtful policies that serve the best interests of all residents.
