Let me tell you a little
​about myself.
I moved to Airdrie in 2012 with my husband and daughter. We instantly fell in love with the city and decided to call it home. Since moving here, we have welcomed a second daughter into our lives and convinced my family, as well as my husbands family, to make the move here too! I am a country girl at heart, but believe in innovation with responsible advancement.

 Some of my hobbies include gardening, singing, cooking, reading and learning. I am a lover of all animals. I love to be involved wherever I can and truly believe that volunteering ones time, is one of the best things you can do for your own well being, while making a difference in your community. 

I am extremely passionate about lifelong learning in every form. Education grows our communities and strengthens us. I am especially passionate about education for families relating to healthy habits and overall wellness. As the co-host of "Tina's Tips" on Air 106.1, I was able to share my knowledge on healthy meal tips, healthy lunchbox tips for school, budgeting skills, home organization skills and healthy practices for calming the mind and creating less stress in our daily lives. 

I have had the immense honour of being your Council representative for the last 8 years. During this time I have worked hard for you, each and everyday. I have dedicated countless hours to this role, because I truly believe that you deserve more from your council. By taking on additional boards, committees, tasks, responsibilities, workshops and seminars; I have made sure that I am always, learning more, to do more for you.

​We can learn so much, simply by listening and I have learned so much from our residents here, my colleagues within the City and throughout the Province. There is always something new and exciting to learn, and you can be guaranteed that I will be learning it.

Why I am running for Mayor? 
That is a very easy answer... I love this community and am ready to lead! 
  • For the past two terms (8 years), I have learned and grown in my role as a councillor. This role paired with my over 15 years in leadership roles has shaped me into the person that I am now - a trusted leader with critical thinking skills and a vision for tomorrow. 
  • With experience on municipal boards, regional boards and provincial boards, I have gained the skills and the relationships needed to step up and serve the community in a more impactful way. 
  • It has been a great privilege to work with mayors and councils across this province to learn the best ways to lead a council, and a city. Whenever I go out and visit municipalities around the province, there is always something to take away that can better our community and our region.  
  • Each and everyday, I learn something new and I am able to pass that knowledge along to anyone who wants to have it. Having served on boards of every variety, I am well versed in municipal matters along with provincial and federal matters to ensure that we have strong representation at every table. 
  • I've grown. Four years ago, I know that it was too early to step up to this role. It takes a generous amount of time to really know and understand the many subjects that we are faced with on a daily basis. Since the last election, I have earned numerous certificates in municipal disciplines and in leadership disciplines. I have the knowledge, skills and experience to lead. 
  • We've grown! This city has changed so much and it will take a strong vision to retain the best parts of our history and incorporate them with innovation for the future. 
  • Together, we've been through a lot. I've walked shoulder to shoulder with you through triumphs and challenges and that lived experience allows me to lead our advocacy efforts effectively and passionately. I am here to carry your voice forward. 
  • I love this city and the people in it. This is where my family calls home and where my kids are growing up. I hope to continue working for you, and with you, to make sure it is the best community possible.​
