The City of Coquitlam's official count gives her 13,758 votes, fourth of the 20 council candidates, and the Chief Election Officer declared her elected on October 21, 2026. The City's results print no elector organization for any candidate; the Tri-Cities Dispatch reported that she ran as an independent. Freshet News photographed her watching the results at city hall on election night.","The City's council page says she has lived in Coquitlam for 27 years, holds a business degree from Simon Fraser University, worked in banking, human resources and the non-profit sector, and was first elected to council in 2014. It lists her as chair of the City's Economic Development Advisory Committee and Cultural Services Advisory Committee, a director on the Metro Vancouver board, vice chair of Metro Vancouver's Housing Committee and a member of its Governance Committee. Metro Vancouver's own list of board members names her as one of Coquitlam's two directors. The City's page also lists her volunteer work, among it the Burke Mountain Naturalists, Meaningful Meals for Seniors and the co-founding in 2016 of the TriCities Friends of Refugees Task Group; voche.me has not checked these with the groups. The Dispatch reported in August 2026 that she runs weekly as a guide for a blind athlete, and her campaign site carries that runner's endorsement.","The City's council minutes of February 6 and 13, 2023 record routine motions she moved: the amended 2023 council meeting schedule, the approval of the previous meeting's minutes and the receipt of Finance Standing Committee minutes. The Dispatch and Freshet News reported her words and votes on 2024 to 2026 decisions. In October 2024, on energy and carbon rules for new buildings, she asked about supply chain problems and said she did not want to slow construction during a housing crisis. In December 2025 she voted for the 2026 budget and its 3.37 per cent tax increase. In April 2026 she and Councillor Robert Mazzarolo voted against a 27-storey tower and rental block at 727 North Road, Freshet News reported. In June 2026 she was one of three votes against a 404-unit townhouse project in the Partington Creek neighbourhood of Burke Mountain, which passed 5 to 3. In July 2026 she voted for the City's new unit mix rules and said: \"I am not a huge fan of over-regulation but I do think it's important to have clarity.\" As acting mayor in August 2026 she welcomed the new officer in charge of the Coquitlam RCMP.","In the Dispatch's questionnaire of October 13, 2026 she said the most pressing transportation issue she hears about is the unsafe use of e-scooters, that she accepts contributions from eligible individuals and believes some work in the development industry, that the 3.37 per cent increase was reasonable, and that she is open to surveillance camera technology only with privacy safeguards and advice from the RCMP. By her own account on her campaign site, she moved the motion that put public defibrillators across Coquitlam, had an anti-idling bylaw adopted, and moved two resolutions at the Union of BC Municipalities; voche.me has not checked these against the minutes. Her campaign site carries an endorsement from Richard Stewart, mayor from 2008 to 2026.","fern","editorial","Councillor, City of Coquitlam",[32,38,45],{"period":33,"title":30,"description":34,"source":35},"2014 to now","The City's council page says she was first elected in 2014 and chairs the Economic Development and Cultural Services advisory committees.
