<\/span>I\u2019ve been a letter carrier with Canada Post since 2009 but I have extensive experience and training through my union. (Ex. grievance, labour standards, communications and public relations, media\/press training, organizing, education and facilitation). I also have a BA, BSc and speak French and Polish. <\/span>I was chair of our workplace health and safety committee (2013-2017). <\/span>I was Vice President of my local union (CUPW) from 2015-2016 before taking a leave of absence for my current elected role. <\/span>I am currently on leave as the elected full time president of the Winnipeg Labour Council where I manage campaigns and paid staff and am part of a board of ten executive members. A big part of my work is lobbying city hall as well as MPs (sometimes MLAs if I really have to) and working with the community to push progressive policy. I work with unions to better the lives of working people in our city and many other community and partner organizations. I do a lot of planning\/organizing community events (women\u2019s march, Labour Day picnic, May Day, etc.) and working with NGOs and non-profits.

I’m a transgender woman originally hailing from Regina, SK. After five years in Winnipeg and a “West-coast” crisis of faith last year, however, I’m more happy than ever to call Winnipeg home. I love to create; some of my favourite hobbies are playing Mandolin, making electronic music, cooking, and hand-tool woodworking.
