Working to deliver results that work.

After you elected me to serve and represent you as your city councillor, I rolled up my sleeves and got right to work.

You sent me to City Hall to make our neighbourhoods more vibrant, liveable, safe, and commutable. We’re seeing results take shape, and from here on in, the progress will be increasingly tangible.

New and better transit is on the way, along with new affordable housing, new infrastructure, new neighbourhood amenities, improved safety measures, cleaner communities initiatives, and new supports for small businesses.

Our community is the most dynamic area of Toronto, and it's ours to treasure. There's much more to do, and much more to deliver.

Stay connected with me: sign up for email updates, including news about what’s happening around our ward.

I’m working hard for you – and for all of our neighbourhoods and communities.
