Why I’m Running

Visible, responsive leadership rooted in real workplace experience.

I’m running for National Vice-President, Ontario because I believe our union is strongest when members are informed, engaged, and supported every day. With over two decades of union activism, I understand the pressures members face and have experience in bargaining, health and safety, and advocacy. I’m committed to visible, responsive leadership that ensures every voice is heard and delivers practical results for members.

In Action

Real work.
Real members.
Real commitment.

This is what solidarity looks like in action—showing up, listening, and standing with members when it counts. From picket lines to workplace issues, I’ve worked alongside members to take on challenges and get results. This is the commitment I bring every day.
