Rooted Here

Ward 2, Queensville resident since 2018

My wife, Farzaneh, and I moved here to the first phase of Queensville in July 2018, and we have called Queensville, East Gwillimbury home ever since. We've watched this community grow up around us — new neighbours, new streets, and new pressures that come with all of it.

As a resident of the Ward I want to serve, I'm here to assist with that growth and help move our community forward for a greater vision.

Our daughter, now 7, was born in 2019 and is being raised here. That's the lens I bring to every decision: building a safe, successful, and thriving community the next generation is proud to stay in.

Professional Foundation

01

Legal Advocacy & Compliance

Through Slawson Legal Services, I have served as a Licensed Paralegal since 2008, navigating complex regulatory frameworks and fighting for the rights of my clients. This experience has equipped me with the analytical precision needed to review bylaws and advocate for fair governance in East Gwillimbury.

02

Financial Stewardship

Through Benson Mortgages, I have worked as a Mortgage Agent since 2021, helping local families understand the economic pressures they face. My background in financial planning and real estate ensures that I will bring a disciplined, bottom-line approach to our municipal budget and infrastructure spending.

A Vision for
East Gwillimbury

Sustainable growth that respects our local heritage and agricultural roots.

Transparent communication between town hall and the residents of Ward 2.

Responsible fiscal management that prioritizes essential community services.

A Commitment

Transparency with every public agency

Residents deserve straight answers from every municipal and government-funded agency that serves them. Public money and public trust come together — and both require openness by default, not disclosure only when pressed.

When there is a public request for information about a pending decision or a pending investigation concerning the safety of children or pets, that request deserves a clear, direct, and timely answer. No deflection, no indefinite silence, no burying accountability in process.

Plain answers

Responses in language residents can actually use — not agency boilerplate.

Timely response

Requests acknowledged promptly, with a stated timeline for a full reply.

Safety first

Matters touching the safety of children and pets are never left unanswered.

Community Safety

Safer streets for our ever-growing community

Over the last two years, I have worked directly with Ward 2 councillors on a plan to make our streets safer. That work has included deploying speed monitoring devices and road monitoring devices to track speeds and traffic patterns where residents have raised concerns.

I will continue this work to ensure our streets are safer and drivers are held to a standard of safety for our community, our children, our pets, and all of our residents.

Speed monitoring

Devices that measure how fast vehicles travel through Ward 2 neighbourhoods.

Traffic tracking

Road monitoring devices that capture traffic volume and patterns to guide decisions.

Safety for all

A standard of safety that protects children, pets, and every resident who uses our roads.
