Greetings, and welcome to my
Trustee Website.
For those of you who may not
have had the pleasure of meeting me yet, allow me to introduce myself. I am
your dedicated community advocate serving as the TDSB School Trustee in Ward 18
– Scarborough Southwest. I serve as the vital connection to the School Board
overseeing the educational well-being of our local schools. As your elected
representative, I collaborate with fellow trustees to make informed decisions
and stand as your voice when needed. I firmly believe that together, we can
contribute to the continued excellence of our public schools.
Curious about the role of a
trustee? You can explore more about it here and even enjoy a brief video on our
School Board's trustees.

to foster your active engagement within our public school system. Here, you can

We understand that the
well-being of you and your family, especially during the school years, is of
utmost importance. School life can be both thrilling and challenging, for both
students and parents/caregivers. We've prepared tailored tools and resources to
support you, which you can explore at

While we may be part of the

pillar of support for public education, and I eagerly anticipate collaborating
with you and your child's school throughout the year.
