VOTE OCTOBER 20-26
YRDSB School Trustee
Richmond Hill
Wards 1,2,4
Ensuring Kids Thrive at School
Dear Ward 1,2,4 Residents,
​
As a former Head of Education for a global non-profit, and a mother of two, I can attest that there is no better investment a family or a society can make than in a child’s education.  And that is why I am running for school board trustee.
​
I have deep roots in Richmond Hill, with my grandparents, my mother, and myself all working at or attending schools in the wards I hope to serve. I know that my success, including leading a $330 million portfolio of education programming for 8.9 million children is a result of the positive impact of Richmond Hill schools.
​
Now more than ever, as I raise my own children here, I want to see Richmond Hill continue to be a place where all children thrive. I will bring my 17 years of professional experience in the education sector, my knowledge of our community, and my perspective as a parent, to serve you as School Trustee for Ward 1,2 and 4.
​
My commitment to you, is to use my voice, determination, and evidence of what works to solve the day-to-day challenges within our schools. I look forward to meeting and talking with you over the coming months.
​
Sincerely,
Priorities
I want to see every child thrive in Richmond Hill schools. My priorities to achieve this are:Â
01
Foundational Skills.
Every child gains the skills they need to succeed. This includes meeting provincial standards for reading, writing, and math.
02
Equity.
 Every school in Richmond Hill provides a high-quality education. This means providing resources where they are needed most and addressing inconsistencies between schools.
03
Online Safety & Learning.
Children’s online safety is at the heart of policies. This means working with schools, parents and the community to mitigate the risks associated with being online. It also means navigating responsible use of AI in teaching and learning.
