 Candidate Profile

I was born and raised in Kingston, then relocated to GTA to start my career in the hospitlity industry. During my 17 years in the GTA, I was able to gain valuable experience with companies such as Sheraton Hotels, Aramark, Radisson Hotels & Clublink, but I never called Toronto my home.
Coming back to Kingston with my new family in early 2003 was an opportunity to become part of the community again. Once I returned, I worked for our family business which had been a part of the community for over 25 years. After the sale of our family business, my husband and I owned our own local business, I worked for Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront, Confederation Place Hotel and this path brought me to work for the Kingston Frontenacs which is locally owned and operated.
While working in downtown hotels, I was involved with the Tourism Kingston Travel & Trade and Meetings & Conferences committee and I volunteered with UHKF and Kingston Chamber of Commerce. I have seen the Downtown continue to develop and grow into a dynamic tourist attraction for out of town visitors and our local families.
I would like to continue to see growth in events, festivals, retail store fronts and our fabulous dining options. Creating welcoming areas for people to meet, paths for everyone to enjoy the fabulous waterfront and continuing to develop attractions & experiences in downtown will benefit our community.

I look forward to continuing to be a spokesperson for Downtown Kingston!

I am passionate about the downtown moving forward with creative new ways to bring businesses to the area. Utilizing the long standing business owners & operators as our ambassadors to speak to the offerings that we have to offer, I would like to be apart of the next steps in making Kingston even more spectacular all year long!
