As a long-time resident of Tillsonburg and a passionate advocate for inclusion and accessibility, I am excited about the opportunity to once again contribute to the important work your organization does in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities.

Being a person with a disability and having previously served as a Board Member for Community Living Tillsonburg, I am familiar with your mission, values, and the vital role you play in our community. My past involvement has given me insight into the responsibilities and rewards of board service, and I am eager to bring my experience, dedication, and collaborative spirit back to the table.

My work with organizations such as ARC Industries, the Town of Tillsonburg, and South West Oxford Recycling has strengthened my sense of teamwork, responsibility, and service. In addition, my active roles with the Tillsonburg Accessibility Committee, People First, and the Rotary Club reflect my continued investment in community leadership and advocacy.

I currently live independently with support from the SIL program, and I stay engaged through my participation in the Special Olympics. These experiences have given me insight into the challenges and goals of individuals in our community, as well as the importance of inclusive policies and practices.

My goals as a board member would be to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to ensure that everyone feels respected, included, and empowered to participate fully in the community. I am passionate about equity, inclusion, and giving a voice to those who may struggle to advocate for themselves.

By joining the board, I hope to work with others, foster community involvement, and support meaningful initiatives. I believe my dedication, advocacy skills, and lived experience will make a positive contribution.
