My Vision
Thriving Staff and Successful Students
Dedicated to fostering a collaborative and communicative environment for staff and parents, knowing that their success and well-being directly contributes to the success and happiness of our students.
For many years, I have had the privilege of occupying a seat at the table in various roles- teacher, parent, administrator, chaplain, and now as a candidate for Catholic School Trustee.
Faith
My belief is that every individual is created in the image of God, and I hold deep respect for the dignity and worth of every student and staff member.
I am devoted to walking alongside others on their faith journeys, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to grow spiritually.
My leadership is founded on a servant-centered approach and driven by integrity.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
As part of a multicultural school district that values family-oriented mindset, I am dedicated to a pastoral approach that prioritizes diversity, inclusion, and equity. By upholding these values, I aim to create an environment where staff and students feel welcome, supported, and empowered to thrive and succeed.
CCSD organized individual trustee forums, providing an opportunity for each candidate to introduce themselves and share their perspectives. The goal was to offer Catholic constituents a chance to learn more about the trustee candidates before the Jan. 31, 2025, CCSD by-election for two new trustees. These forums were recorded on Tuesday, January 7, at the Calgary Catholic School Centre.
