I believe in love as a public ethic. This philosophy is at the root of everything I do, both personally and professionally. I believe in our shared humanity and responsibility to each other to support life and flourishing. It is these values that underpin the work of my life.

I bring over a decade of experience leading creative and effective engagement campaigns, mobilizing thousands of people to take action on some of the most urgent and meaningful social issues of our time.

Some work I’m most proud of:

• Organizing thousands of residents to call on the City of Toronto to declare housing a human right in Toronto’s 2020-2030 Housing Action Plan

• Leading the movement to successfully establish the City of Toronto’s first-ever Gender Equality Office

• Increasing the City’s shelter capacity by 25% by opening up 1,000 shelter beds

• Bringing Equity Responsive Budgeting framework to City of Toronto’s $13.47 billion budget

• Co-founding civic leadership program Women Win Toronto to increase diversity in politics.
