Q. Do you think experience matters one way or another?
A. Experience is crucial when making financial decisions on behalf of taxpayers. With 11 years of operations management and extensive work history, I understand the importance of considering multiple facets of each decision, including financial implications and the broader impact on the community. It's essential to prioritize the needs of the majority, ensuring that decisions benefit all taxpayers, as their money funds the council's operations and city administration. With respect to the city council position there is training.

A. The tipping point for me was realizing that Moose Jaw hasn’t progressed in the last four years in-fact I think we have went backwards. I know I can bring strong economic and financial benefits to the council, and I’m committed to restoring Moose Jaw to its former greatness. Many decisions were made that didn’t explore all possible options, and it’s time to put our community first and unlock its true potential. Together, we can create a brighter future for our city.
Q. What criticisms do you have, if any, for the politics you've seen over the last two or three years?
A. In the last couple of years, we've seen a lot of criticisms in politics. There’s been a lack of transparency and accountability, and people are frustrated. Many politicians are out of touch with the needs of everyday citizens. Decisions are often made without considering the impact on the community, and we need leaders who prioritize the people, not special interests. It's time for real change—Moose Jaw deserves better!
Q. What is your plan to compromise/cooperate with fellow council members to accomplish policy goals?

I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and work with other council members to get things done. Together, we can achieve our goals and make Moose Jaw a better place for everyone. Let’s bring real results to our community!
Q. What else do you want voters to know about you?
A. As a mom of two small children, I care deeply about creating a bright future for everyone in our community. Moose Jaw is a great city filled with terrific people, and there’s so much potential for growth. Transparency is essential, and public input is crucial. We can’t stick with the same old council and expect different results. I’m here to work hard, bring fresh ideas, and get things done for our families and our future!
