My decision to run for the Green Party of Canada comes from the same place that inspired me to become a singer-songwriter. My father once urged me to write songs for the starving children of the world, yet it was only after his passing that I found the courage to change not just my lyrics, but also my life.

As the child of immigrant parents, hard work and dedication were ingrained in me from a young age. But as I travelled the world, I struggled to reconcile those experiences with the life I was living in Canada. That journey led me to become an advocate for social justice and peace— causes that resonated deeply in my heart.

I walked 102 kilometres for water—twice—to raise awareness as a water activist. I worked as a PSW and social worker supporting homeless teenagers. I became a yoga teacher and an educational partner with the TDSB, teaching children and adults the art of meditation and the practice of peace.

Now, in 2025, I am committed to making equity and social justice the foundation of socioenvironmental change.

What It Means
To Vote Green

  • It means putting communities first. Green MPs have the freedom to vote based on local priorities, not party politics. We stand firmly for Canadian communities and values against all threats.

  • It means fighting for economic fairness. Our plan provides cost-of-living relief for working Canadians while protecting jobs and businesses from economic disruptions.
