Serving Pickering before
seeking office.
I am a proud Pickering resident, immigrant, and member of a middle-class family who has lived here for many years, raised my children here, paid taxes here, and been deeply involved in our community. I understand the challenges faced by working families because I have experienced them myself. I am an engineer with more than two decades of diverse corporate leadership experience, a business owner, community leader, media professional, and philanthropist. Throughout my career, I have built my experience around leadership, problem-solving, accountability, and serving people.
For more than 15 years, I have been actively involved in our community and a consistent voice for Pickering residents, bringing their concerns directly to municipal officials and advocating for practical solutions. I have worked on issues that affect resident’s everyday lives, including rising property taxes, neighbourhood safety and rising crime, roads and sidewalks, potholes, garbage collection, snow removal, traffic congestion, parks and playgrounds, and better public transit. I have also supported newcomers, mentored youth, organized employment seminars, and brought residents together to address community concerns. I have consistently raised concerns about road conditions, potholes, sidewalks, and advocated for timely action, repairs, and improvements when these problems presented risks to residents.
Through my non-profit and community work, I have supported underprivileged families with food, clothing, and employment opportunities, while helping professionals and newcomers through career mentorship, training, and settlement support. I believe true leadership means listening, bringing people together, solving problems, and delivering results for our community.
One issue I have consistently advocated for is the rising cost of property taxes. In 2012, I helped organize a meeting with City officials to raise residents’ concerns about property taxes and municipal costs, while also presenting suggestions and seeking greater accountability and value for taxpayers.
In 2025, I again stood with Pickering residents by supporting and signing a petition calling for action on rising property taxes. The response from our community was tremendous, with more than 1,200 residents—and ultimately thousands of community members—supporting the petition, which was submitted to the city. This demonstrated clearly that residents want their voices heard when it comes to affordability, taxation, and responsible municipal spending.
As a member of the Durham Region Transit Committee, I have advocated for better transit, increased service frequency, improved bus shelters, and restoring routes and services reduced during the pandemic. I have also raised concerns about roads, potholes, sidewalks, maintenance, and safety, advocating for timely repairs and improvements to protect residents.
Community safety has always been a priority. When residents faced concerns about break-ins and property crime, I raised these issues with the City of Pickering and Durham Regional Police Service, while bringing residents together through neighbourhood safety and crime-prevention initiatives to promote awareness, personal safety, and safer communities
During the COVID-19 pandemic and those exceptionally difficult times, I stepped up to serve Pickering neighbourhoods I volunteered my time to help provide personal protective equipment (PPE) who had difficulty accessing these essential supplies. I also helped deliver groceries and essential medicines, to seniors and residents who were unable to safely leave their homes.
For the past 12 years, I have proudly served on various City of Pickering and Regional municipal advisory committees, working collaboratively to make a positive difference in our community and help strengthen the future of Pickering.
My community service has also been recognized. In 2021, I received a Civic Award for Diversity from the City of Pickering for my contributions to the community. In 2025, I was recognized by the Toronto Police Service with a Community Services Award for contributions involving media, youth mentoring and community sports initiatives.
These recognitions are not simply awards to me—they represent years of service, community involvement, and a commitment to bringing people together.
All of this work I have done as a member of this community. I have not needed a political title to serve our community.. Now, imagine what I could accomplish if I were elected as your Regional Councillor and had a formal voice at the City and Region.
Instead of bringing your concerns to City Hall from the outside, I could bring your concerns directly to the council table. I could be your voice inside City Hall
Pickering needs leadership that is focused on results, not unnecessary conflict, restrictions, or distractions. We need City Hall and Durham Region working together, delivering results and listening to residents
Ward 3 deserves a strong, visible, and engaged voice at Regional Council — someone who will listen, show up, speak up, for you and work every day to deliver results.
I have been your voice in the community. Now, I am asking for your support to be your voice inside City Hall.
The Pickering of tomorrow cannot be managed with yesterday’s thinking.
