CLC rating: Supportable
Rating Comments: Answered favourably to CLC's questionnaire 2006. In a phone interview with a CLC rep, she agreed that the board's Equity & Inclusive Education strategy contains some pitfalls that could give an open door to those who disagree with Catholic doctrine on the issue of homosexual practice. In fact, she committed to raising a motion, if elected, to embed a specific, new protection in the board's equity policy requiring Section 2357 of the Catechism to be taught whenever the issue of homosexuality is mentioned. Her motion would also explicity ban 'Gay-Straight Alliances' and any youth counsellors or groups who do not totally agree with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Percentage in last election: 55.16% (2010), 54.21% (2014) ; Elected (2022)

| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Will you personally uphold and work toward the public promotion of total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) | Yes (based on 2010 survey) |

| Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | Yes (based on 2010 survey) |
| Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is an infection that is transmitted through sex. Will you therefore oppose HPV vaccination in schools because it sends the message to students, teachers and parents that obedience to Church teaching on abstinence before marriage is neither expected nor necessary? | -- |

| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion*? (*Note: a surgical or medical intervention designed to prevent the death of the mother but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) | -- |
