I bring many years of experience as a classroom teacher and professor, not only serving here in Surrey but internationally in Finland, China, and Japan. I served on provincial committees and helped write curriculum and evaluated

resources. If elected I will help build this district to be recognized for its education, the best-equipped schools and teachers, and the most successful learners possible. We want to better equip our city with skilled workers for trades and small businesses. We need to fast- track building new facilities to remove the 347 portables currently in use. We need to work with city planners and developers to keep pace with the growing needs in Surrey. I want to be your voice in the continued progress of your child’s education and the future of our city. I will give the Board of Education a new perspective and help continue to move the district forward with its rapid growth. Vote for Change… vote for an educator
