Who I am 

I have proudly served on Fredericton City Council since 2021. Since retiring from Canada Post, I have been able to dedicate even more time and energy to Council responsibilities and to the residents of Ward 9, whose thoughtful and respectful engagement inspires me every day.

I love our city and am proud to call Fredericton home. Through my volunteer work at Wilmot United Church, I see firsthand the compassion and commitment of those who support our most vulnerable residents. On Council, I continue to advocate for policies and programs that strengthen our community and improve quality of life for everyone.

I have lived in the Fredericton area for over 30 years. I completed my Arts and Education degrees at UNB while raising two daughters, later working as a substitute teacher and then as a letter carrier with Canada Post. Walking neighbourhoods across the city gave me a deep appreciation for safe, accessible streets and sidewalks year-round.
​
My 17 years as a union education facilitator with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers strengthened my commitment to listening, respectful debate, and inclusive decision-making. I have served on national and policy committees, including the National Women’s Committee, where I developed a strong understanding of equity, intersectionality, and the importance of ensuring all voices are heard. These experiences continue to guide my work on Council today.
