I’m an internationally trained lawyer. I studied law in the United Kingdom with a year abroad in France. While in France, I interned at the European Court of Human Rights. I have obtained a Master’s degree in law with a focus on Banking and Finance from the McGill University Faculty of Law. Later I attended the New York University’s Stern School of Business and joined a New York City-based hedge fund as legal counsel.
The seeds of my career were planted in Burlington and cultivated through experiences beyond it. I served as a Legislative Page at Queen’s Park, articled on Bay Street in the heart of Canada’s financial district, and worked in New York City. Now marriage, a growing family and service aspirations beckon me back home - to Brant Street and City Hall - where I hope to help shape the next chapter of our community’s future.
Burlington is home: I studied at Assumption Catholic High School, worked as a lifeguard at the local YMCA and bagged groceries for Mr. Denninger at his iconic Guelph Line store. I understand first-hand what Burlington has to offer including excellent schools, robust municipal services, safety and a unique community feel.
As a high school student, I led a political initiative to strengthen road safety laws, helping reduce risks for young drivers. A decade later in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I founded one of Canada’s largest pro bono legal organizations. The aim was to help as many as possible - for free. The satisfaction of that remains a huge memory for me. I mobilized more than 400 graduate lawyers and active students, supported by more than 50 top lawyers trapped at home during COVID, to deliver free services Canada-wide.
As I start my own family, I feel deep commitment to public service and to preserving what makes Burlington and our neighbourhoods special. Ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same quality of life here is a responsibility I am proud to embrace. I want to bring a forward-looking perspective to City Council, focused on fiscal responsibility, smart growth, safe communities and long-term planning in a rapidly changing world.
Outside of work, I am active and engaged locally— often playing basketball at Nelson Park, running local trails and enjoying Burlington’s restaurants with family and friends.
