Our family moved to Oro-Medonte four years ago. We have an eight-year-old son attending W.R. Best Public School.
Before my husband’s work relocated us, I worked as Veterinary Technologist, Veterinary Laboratory Technologist, and as Coordinator of Disease Surveillance (DNR-Agriculture and Agrifoods Branch) with the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador for over 15 years. I was also a Trainer for TDG.
My experience working with various provincial/federal governments and agencies, law enforcement, universities, non-profit organizations and the private sector has given me knowledge and skills that I will bring to council.
Serving the public was something I had great pride in doing and made every effort to assist anyone who contacted me; I felt I was working for the taxpayers and not the government itself.
While living in the city of Mount Pearl for 16 years, myself (as a volunteer) and a city councillor led a drive resulting in the city creating its first dog park, changing methods of invoicing taxpayers for services, and adding more economical enhancements to the city.
Several concerns have been repeatedly raised. I will advocate these and others if elected:
- Aging roads need repairs and replacement;
- Signage and road safety need to be examined in areas due to increased traffic and pedestrian use
- Unwanted tax increase
The need:
- For affordable and reliable highspeed internet;
- To protect and recognize the importance of our public schools and community centers
- For Airbnb regulations
- To revisit and resolve current council’s decision to implement a trial period regarding ATV use in our township
- For more openness, communication and accountability with Council.
I will bring transparency and do my best to be available and always respectfully listen to all concerns that are brought forward.
Being councillor of Ward 3 will be my full-time job.
