I believe PAPMers need to be better informed of what happens at CUSA; instead of complaining about CUSA, I’ve decided to run to do something about it.

For the past three years, I have worked on the National team at Scouts Canada. I’ve reviewed budgets in excess of $25 million and worked with people from every corner of the country. I know how to work with different people to get things done.
3) What are two things you hope to achieve if elected?
A CUSA councillor’s job is to represent their students, keep them informed, and keep the executive accountable. I simply want to provide strong representation.
