My Story

I am a proud West Vancouver resident, deeply rooted in this community and passionate about its future. I am raising my three children here, two at Mulgrave and one at École Cedardale, and like so many West Van families, this place is not just where we live, it is where we belong. From playing field hockey with the Cavaliers to now cheering on my son as he takes to the ice with the West Van Thunder – the same team I once competed against – this community has been part of my story for as long as I can remember.

Shaped in no small part by the values and education I received at Collingwood School. my career spans the United Nations, the World Bank, and international climate negotiations – including postings in Denmark, Kenya, and the United States – I have spent over two decades turning global sustainability challenges into real-world solutions. I have spoken at over 50 UN events, and I hold a Master of Arts in Geography from McGill University.

I also give back locally wherever I can, volunteering with West Vancouver’s Hockey for Autism program, sharing my UN experience with students in local schools, and previously serving on the West Vancouver Community Engagement Committee. I am a graduate of Collingwood School

“I bring a global perspective but my feet are firmly planted here, in the schools, rinks, and neighbourhoods of West Vancouver.”
