Richmond Vancouver

I am seeking nomination for Regional Council Member in the upcoming special election. I have been active in the union since 2014 as a steward, became a Member Educator in 2019, & have served as Mental Health Rep since 2022. Since Nov 2025, I have been interim RCM, providing stability during a sudden leadership transition. As a Mosaic of Colour member, I bring this perspective to my advocacy & leadership. I am actively building my understanding of Council responsibilities—strategic direction, advocacy, governance, & fiduciary accountability—through close collaboration with our RIVA team. With 26 years as an RN & experience in pediatrics, emergency, public health, & 811, I bring a broad perspective & a strong voice for RIVA.

I am a highly experienced nurse and a dedicated union advocate with a career spanning over 44 years. Currently work as a Telenurse and prior worked in ED, ICU, CCU and med/surg. August I became the Steward at Large and was fortunate to be elected to the Bargaining Committee, bringing my passion for advocating for BC’s nurses. For 8 years I was the Executive Steward Liaison. My leadership experience includes coordinating stewards, covering for RCM, supporting member engagement and strengthening union representation across multiple work sites. I am known for my honesty, integrity, communication skills and extensive knowledge and understanding of the collective agreement. I am committed to advocacy and strive to be a trusted effective leader.
