Key Accomplishments
Since first being elected as Trustee for Clarington in 2018, I have focused on delivering results through collaboration, responsible governance, and strong advocacy for students, families, and Catholic education. I am honoured to be serving my fourth consecutive year as Chair of the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, after previously serving as Vice-Chair. Working alongside fellow trustees, senior administration, parents, municipal leaders, and provincial representatives, I have helped guide important decisions that strengthen Catholic education throughout our region.
