A plain-language guide for Barrie voters in Wards 1, 2 and 3
Throughout my professional career in Human Resources, I have focused on building fair workplaces, promoting transparency, supporting respectful dialogue, and creating solutions through collaboration. These values guide my approach to public service and leadership.
My commitment to Waterloo extends through my volunteer involvement and community leadership. As a Neighbourhood Connector, I help strengthen local connections by bringing families and neighbours together through community events, creating opportunities for residents to connect, support one another, and build a stronger sense of belonging.
