Additional Information

I also have a degree in Environmental Engineering through the University of Guelph (graduated in 2003) and have 21 years experience as an engineer. I work as a Senior Water Resources Engineer for AECOM, and have been there for 19 years.


I am also a mom of two girls who have been dancing at the City of Brampton for years. Dance is a big part of our lives and we do fun routines together all the time. As a mom I have gained invaluable experience with children and have learned a lot about the necessity of patience, common mental health struggles for kids, stages of development, and how all kids are so different and so awesome in their own unique way.
