My past career in international banking spanned the areas of corporate debt financing, mergers & acquisitions, equity fund raising, private banking and investment management.

My key priorities as Councillor are economic development, jobs growth, job security, wage growth, and making our economy as special as our city is.

In my spare time, I enjoy the beauty of my hometown our most special city, literature, arts, fitness and meeting friends in our community.
