About Me
For the past 10 years I have been volunteering as a Green, starting first in the 2015 General Election in my then local riding of Simcoe North, but quickly getting experience across the province and the country.
I sat on the Green Party of Ontario’s Provincial Executive (equivalent to the Federal Council) first as a Young Greens Rep from May 2017 to November 2019, and then as an Eastern Ontario Rep from November 2020 to March 2025. I also served as chair of the GPO’s Conduct Committee from April 2018 to March 2025. During my time in these governance roles I took lead roles in projects such as reforming our safe spaces policies, reforming our General Meeting procedures and rules, re-writing the Member’s Code of Conduct, and took on other governance tasks. During my time on the PE the Party elected it’s first seat with Mike Schreiner in 2018, and then doubled its caucus in 2023 with Aislinn Clancy.
I’ve also been an active campaigner. After my start in Simcoe North I’ve campaigned all across Ontario, and even flew out to British Columbia in 2017 to help on the Mark Neufeld campaign in Saanich South. I’ve become a bit of a specialist in Get Out the Vote (GOTV), a role focused on turning our supporters into our voters. I ran the GOTV for the Matt Richter 2022, Aislinn Clancy 2023, and Matt Richter 2025 campaigns.
On a professional level, I have my Bachelor of Engineering and also an Ontario College Advance Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology. My current role is a Project Coordinator with an engineering consulting company.
I have the skills and experience needed to help the Green Party of Canada rebound and return to a place of success.
Priorities
Leadership Renewal
Elizabeth May has stated she will not be leading us into the next election. The Party needs to prepare for a leadership race that will reinvigorate the Party and return us to relevance.
Finances
The Party is in a lot of debt, $600k as of last reporting, we need to pay this off and clean up our books.
Governance Reform
Federal Council has seen a lot of turnover the past several years, too much turnover. We need to make structural changes to how Federal Council operates as to better serve the Party.
