ABOUT ME

INCLUSION

 

RIGHT TO THE CITY

ASSET-BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

SOCIAL CHANGE

 

I am a progressive policy planner with a deep sense of civic duty and concern for urban social issues. I am particularly interested in social justice, strengthening communities, assessing and mitigating community impacts, protecting community assets and achieving social change.  I specialize in an asset-based and holistic approach to urban resilience. I  value equity, inclusivity, collaboration, and strategic thinking.

I have over 10 years of experience working in non-profit sector and municipal government. I hold solid analytical, research, stakeholder engagement/facilitation, and project management skills. I have a sound understanding of complex community planning issues and of working with communities facing social challenges such as poverty, marginalization and homelessness. 

I was born and raised in east Vancouver with a BA in Sociology from UBC and a Masters in Planning from UBC’s School of Community and Regional Planning.

I am committed to and passionate about participatory planning, working with communities facing complex challenges, and bridging the divide between local government and communities to find ways to make Vancouver and the  Lower Mainland, truly, for all. I am humbled every day to live and work on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.
