I will fight for the small businesses, helping reduce red-tape so they can hire more people and pay more. I don't believe in spending without an account of where that money is going. Doing that is how we end up taking on more and more debt which reduces our ability to reinvest into our health care system, education system, and our provinces infrastructure. To keep our economy moving forward and thriving we need to use the power, might and ingenuity from all corners of our province.

Throughout this process, I learned the value of political participation and that anybody can make a difference for the better in this province.

Beverly-Clareview deserve better facilities plain and simple. When minutes count, a twenty minute drive to a bigger facility is cutting it just TOO close. We have the best front line medical workers in Alberta and need to lower the burden and stress on them by providing the needed support, so they can focus on providing the best care possible. Providing a more affordable education for health care workers, working with front line workers to find real world, tangible solutions to help reduce burnout and to listen and learn then adjust is how I will serve.

Education is one key to growing healthy individuals, caring communities and a strong economy.
Education is not only the ongoing work of improving our public and private K-12 schools but making post-secondary more accessible. Educating students on how to not simply memorize history or facts but how to learn outside of the box, to train their brain for creative and critical thinking is pivotal to our flourishing. Healthy cultures see education as the responsibility of the whole “village” and benefits everyone.
Developing critical thinking and life-long learning habits are the building blocks of an individual's growth, healthy families and a vibrant society.
