Age:  27

Occupation:   improvisational theatre instructor, actor and comedian.

Number of children: none

List any political party membership(s):  none

Do you live in the school district that you seek to represent?   yes

For how long have you lived in the district that you represent? 27 years

What higher education qualifications do you hold? Bachelor of Communication Studies

What PAC experience have you had? No PAC experience yet as I haven't had children. However I was a member of the District Student Leadership Council for three years, including two years as an executive. In this capacity I sat on school board committees and worked with DPAC regularly.

How many board meetings did you attend in person in the last year? September was my first of the year.

What is the single biggest challenge facing the school district and how will you achieve a solution? Our district is particularly challenged by land management. The pace and localization of development has an impact on enrolment projections, and will need to be addressed. Achieving solutions will require continued commitment to communicating and collaborating with school district partners, while deciding how best to use existing assets.

What are your thoughts on the province’s new curriculum? I think it's progress, and long overdue. The question is whether the appropriate funding will follow.

Why do we need a school board when so much is dictated by the province?  Local communities have unique education needs and values, and that's why the province delegates local education delivery to boards through the School Act.
