With degrees in Political Science and Education and as a current Master’s student in Sustainability at UBC Okanagan, I am deeply committed to building a future that works for both people and the planet. I have lived in the Vernon area for over eight years and have seen firsthand the skyrocketing cost of living and the growing impacts of drought, fire, and erratic weather conditions on our daily lives and local economy.

We cannot afford to wait any longer. The solutions exist, and with bold leadership, we can create a future that prioritizes affordability, sustainability, and a thriving local economy.
