 Candidate Profile

I just completed 1 term on the BIA Board, and I'd love to take everything I learned and apply it to another term on the board. The BIA has grown a lot over the past 4 years and will be continuously growing. As a marketing & design professional with a destination business in downtown Kingston, I can offer opinions that impact the tourism and art + culture aspects of our downtown community. 

We have an incredibly diverse downtown community, and visitors to this area can experience a variety of food, retail, entertainment, and more in a truly walkable location. The BIA has been excellent at bringing forth various events, and I'd like to help bring an interactive aspect to these events that would appeal to a younger audience.
