I was the member for Yellowknife North in the Legislative Assembly from 2019-2023. During this time I was also the Caucus chair and Chair of the Standing Committee on Government Operations. Following being an MLA I was a lawyer for the City for an 18 month term. I thoroughly enjoyed working for the City in a staff role and am excited for the opportunity to serve in a councillor role. 

 

Beyond being a policy nerd and lawyer who intimately understands the workings of government, I have spent much of my time organizing community events. Some things I have done to keep Yellowknife weird recently:

 

1. Took a disproportionate amount of the credit for ending the time change;

​

2. Been the Ticketing Manager, Radio Dispatcher, Beer Garden Manager and Hospitality Manager for Folk on the Rocks for different years;

​

3. Helped organize Snowking Cup;

​

4. Helped organize group Survivor (like the reality show but in Yellowknife);

​

5. Helped organize Still Dead Film Festival;

​

6. Helped organize a recreational sports league and pickleball tournament;

​

7. Helped organize a drop-in hockey league;

​

8. Failed miserably at trying to get a housing co-op started;

​

9. Failed miserably at trying to find any path to building housing as a for-profit developer;

​

10. Organized an event where we ate pudding with a fork for no apparent reason;

​

11. Helped organize a 10 day Meditation course on a boat;

​

12. Helped start Makerspace YK.
