Gaps. Her employment, her education and the figures on her website were not checked with the City, the college or any other body. Her Our Ward, Community and Voter Resources pages were not opened. The Local and the Downsview Advocate describe her background from her own materials, and the LinkedIn page they cite could not be read. Her Instagram account, linked from her website, showed only a sign-in prompt to a plain request. voche.me found no earlier candidacy for her, and none of the pages opened mentions one. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Her website describes her this way. The Local, citing her LinkedIn page, describes five years as a City of Toronto employee in homelessness services. voche.me has not checked either against City records.
