I know firsthand that education can change the trajectory of a person's life. As an immigrant who completed high school in British Columbia, I experienced firsthand how education can open doors, create opportunity, and build a foundation for a better future.

My journey continued at Capilano University, followed by a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Business Administration. These experiences shaped my belief that every student deserves access to a high-quality public education, regardless of background or circumstance.

For more than 20 years in the corporate sector, I have led teams, worked with people from diverse backgrounds, managed resources, and made decisions where accountability matters. I have learned that good leadership means listening, asking the right questions, balancing priorities, and being responsible for outcomes. It also means standing up for what is needed and making the case for the resources required to achieve the best results.

If elected, I will advocate strongly for adequate and sustainable funding, fair and transparent resource allocation, and equality of opportunity across our schools. I will fight to ensure students and educators have the support they need to succeed.

I am running because I know personally what education can make possible. I will listen, lead responsibly, and put students first.
