Thumbs Up.png

I ran for Markham City Council in 2018. I pounded every sign, and signed every thank-you note. I truly understand the rigor, effort, and sacrifice needed to run a well-oiled campaign.

I am Technology-focused with a passion for public service, and I believe we need more nerds in government. I’m ready to bring my years of tech experience to improve lives of residents of Markham-Stouffville.

I endeavour to be learning, always. From city hall, to primary and palliative care, to education, I am engaged and learning every day from experts the government should be listening to.
