Experience That Matters

Experience matters when making decisions that affect residents, businesses, community services, infrastructure, public safety, and the future of our village.

I bring a unique combination of education, executive leadership, public administration, governance, and community development experience that has prepared me to lead from day one.

My educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Business Administration, Major in Marketing

• Business Diploma

• General Studies Diploma

• Certificate in Professional Communications

• Certificate in Marketing and Sales

• Business Certificate

• Project Management Certification

This education provided a strong foundation in finance, accounting, economics, human resources, strategic planning, business development, marketing, research, statistics, and organizational leadership.

Throughout my career, I have served in increasingly senior leadership roles, working directly with elected officials, senior governments, First Nations, businesses, regional partners, community organizations, and residents to address complex challenges and advance meaningful community priorities.

My professional experience includes:

• Executive Leadership

• Public Administration

• Governance and Policy Development

• Financial Management and Budgeting

• Economic Development

• Strategic Planning

• Emergency Management

• Community Development

• Grant Funding and Funding Agreements

• Communications and Public Engagement

• Project Management

• Intergovernmental Relations

• Organizational Leadership

Through this work, I have developed a practical understanding of how local governments operate, how major projects move from concept to completion, how funding opportunities are secured, and how strong partnerships help communities succeed.

I understand the importance of balancing community priorities with responsible financial management, effective service delivery, long-term planning, and public accountability.

I also understand that leadership is about more than making decisions. It is about listening, collaborating, building consensus, earning trust, and always acting in the best interests of the community.

My experience has taught me that successful communities are built through strong partnerships, transparent governance, responsible stewardship of public resources, and a commitment to serving residents with integrity and respect.

As Mayor, I will bring that same approach to every decision, every conversation, and every opportunity to move Harrison Hot Springs forward.

I believe Harrison Hot Springs has an extraordinary future ahead. I have the experience, perspective, and commitment to help our community realize that potential while preserving the character, values, and natural beauty that make our village such a special place to call home.

I am prepared to bring that experience, perspective, and commitment to service to the role of Mayor and begin delivering results for residents from day one.
