Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Trustee, Zone 9 (Capital and Alta Vista)

It is an honour to be the Trustee for Zone 9 (Capital and Alta Vista). I am also a family physician, anthropologist, and mother of three. I have spent my life advocating for equitable access to health care and education, Indigenous self-determination, rights for people with disabilities, LGBTQ rights, mental health care, and for the voices of all marginalized and vulnerable populations to be heard.
