Today's the day! So much hard work from both myself and my team has led up today. Please make the time to get out & vote, make your voice heard. I am ready to be the next Edmonton City Councillor for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, we've knocked on almost 25,000 doors and placed...

I met a recent graduate who told us she was considering leaving Edmonton because she couldn’t find stable work in her field. Like her, too many young people feel uncertain about their future here. Edmontonians are builders, innovators, and hard-working people.

Tomorrow is Election Day and I'm so grateful to see at how far we've come. What officially began in January has ended up being a journey of strength, tenacity, and sacrifice, and every bit of it has been worth it.

Everyday on the doors, I hear about affordability. A couple in Heritage Valley waited over a year for an affordable unit near their family but had to move 40 minutes away. Here’s my plan to help keep costs down for Edmontonians.

Election day is in 4 days and Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi is in full autumn and Halloween mode! It's so picturesque to doorknock in neighbourhoods where the leaves are falling and the neighbours are decorating.

How to pronounce Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi. I get asked on the doors all the time how the ward name is pronounced and now I'm even getting comments on social media asking me the same thing, so here is a how to! (E-pee-ko-ka-nee piu-tsi-ya) #YEGVotes2025 #wardipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi #edmonton #yegcc

This morning, I joined dozens of Edmontonians who braved the cold to walk along Ellerslie Road in support of teachers! As a mother of 2 school-aged children who love their teachers, and an educator myself, I know the vital role teachers play in our community and I can’t thank them enough.
