What position are you running for?

Why did you want to run for office?

I was born and raised in Camrose, I love this city and have always wanted to give back to the city that has given me so much.

Tell us your favorite library story:

My first experience with Art was at the Camrose Library and the vast amount of drawing and art books were far beyond what I expected. Being able to take these drawing books home with me was a great joy, and would inspire my creative side for the rest of my life.

What are you reading or watching right now?

Right now I am reading “Unbroken" a WW2 story of survival and I am watching a Netflix series called Love on the Spectrum.

What do you think the Camrose public library brings to the community and how can you support us better?

I feel the library is as vital as any sporting or entertainment venue is to our community. Having a free and accessible location for people of all ages to seek knowledge or a good read is important to me. I would support the library by listening to and embracing the directives of the library staff and its members.

What is your vision for the City of Camrose?

My vision for the City of Camrose includes more public involvement in major City decisions, improving transportation within the City, a fiscally conservative council, and keeping our tax dollars in Camrose by offering all community projects to our local businesses first before we search else-where.
