hese visits sparked meaningful conversations with students about topics like healthcare, housing, and transportation, giving them a chance to share their perspectives and ask thoughtful questions. Connecting with students in this way highlights the importance of their voices in shaping the future of our communities.

As a trustee, I am committed to championing initiatives that support all students' success. Whether it’s pushing for increased special education resources, enhancing mental health supports, or ensuring resources for our trades programs, my focus is on creating an inclusive, supportive environment that empowers every student to thrive.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is attending graduation ceremonies to honour our students' accomplishments. Seeing their pride, joy, and optimism for the future is a reminder of why I advocate for strong public education. It’s a privilege to join families and educators in celebrating these milestones that mark the beginning of bright new chapters in our students' lives.
