Thank You For Your Support

Thank you for your support during my campaign for the Ontario Liberal Party's RVP for Toronto EDEY

Thank You!

Thank you for all of our support!

I would like to thank all of the Delegates in the Etobicoke, Downtown, and East York Region for you support! I also congratulate Noah Parker on his successful election as the Regional Vice-President for Toronto for Etobicoke / Downtown / East York. I look forward to working with you as we rebuild. I also want to congratulate Ahsen Bhatti on his campaign.

I especially want to thank all of the Ontario Liberals who took the time to endorse me:

David Morris, former RVP for EDEY and now the VP, Engagement
David Farrow, the new Executive Vice President
Jonathan Tsao, MPP for Don Valley North
Rob Cerjanek, MPP for Ajax
Eleanor McMahon, former MPP for Burlington
April Engelberg, former candidate for Spadina--Fort York
Jerry Levitan, former candidate for Davenport

While I am naturally disappointed in the results of the election, I look forward to continuing in my role as President of Spadina--Fort York, Treasurer for the Ajax PLA, and in whatever other role I find myself in within the Party.

I also want to take a moment to thank Bonnie Crombie for her leadership! I voted 'No' for a leadership contest, because I believed that Bonnie is the right Leader for the party going forward. Rebuilding a party takes time, dedication, and of course fundraising. To me, Bonnie was well on her way to rebuilding the party, she had the dedication to do more, and she is an amazing fundraiser! All within the short time she was leader. I wanted to see her continue to lead, and take us to an even greater victory in the next General Election.

As we now move into a Leadership Contest sometime over the next 12-months, I will do what I can at the PLA level to support the process. In the previous two Leadership Contests, I was a part of Team Neutral where I supported the process to elect the next Leader of the Liberal Party.

I look forward to the future of the Liberal Party of Ontario, as we rebuild under the next Leader.

About Me

Volunteer, PLA President, RTC Member

Shortly after joining the party in April 2019, I went to my first AGM as a delegate that June. I attended the 2021, 2023, and 2024 AGMs as a delegate. Continuing that streak, I am a registered delegate for this year's AGM.

I started volunteering with the party at the 2020 Leadership Convention as a member of Team Neutral. That experience led me to become the Volunteer Coordinator for the 2023 Leadership Convention, the 2024 AGM, the 2025 Leaders Dinner, and until I decided to stand for the position of RVP, as Volunteer Coordinator for the 2025 AGM.

I joined the Spadina--Fort York PLA as a Director in 2022. I was appointed Treasurer in 2023, and elected President in 2024. As President of Spadina--Fort York, I have spent the past year and a half working to revitalize the PLA through its first AGM in a couple of years, a regular newsletter, and events. I also stepped in this past year to Chair the Toronto Centre AGM.

For the 2022 Election, I door knocked for Chi Nguyen in Spadina--Fort York. During the 2025 Election, I door knocked for Rob Cerjanec in Ajax, and was involved in the campaigns for both Chi Nguyen (Federally) and April Engelberg.

I have been an RTC member since 2019. I donate monthly to my own PLA and to the Ajax PLA, as well as the Federal EDA for Spadina--Harbourfront.

A Lifelong Toronto Boy

I was born and raised in Toronto, and have lived and worked in the city my entire life. I grew up in (what is now) Parkdale--High Park, before moving to (then) Toronto Centre--Rosedale. I lived at Jarvis and Wellesley for 6-years before moving to Spadina and Bremner into (what is now) Spadina--Fort York in 2009.

I've made my career as an Executive Assistant in both the public and private sector for nearly 25-years.

My parents have been politically involved for many years. My father was Student Senator at York University in 1981. He took me out campaigning with him as a child in the 1980's and 90's for various candidates. A teacher by profession, he spent many years on the Executive of the Elementary Teachers of Toronto before retiring. My mother was the founding President of the York University Staff Association (YUSA) in the late 1970's, and has remained politically active. She is a current Director on the Etobicoke Centre PLA.
