I am living a Canadian immigrant’s dream.  I arrived in Canada 40 years ago with just a high school education thanks to the Liberal immigration policies at the time. Through hard work and by taking advantage of exceptional opportunities to learn and grow professionally, I enjoyed a very successful career.  These Liberal policies also allowed me to bring some of my family here, including my parents, who hoped for and became successful contributors to Canada and enthusiastic Canadians.  Naturally, I have been a Liberal ever since.  So let me share my story with you.

I joined Royal Bank of Canada as a teller in my hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, when I was 16 and just out of high school. Impressed by the Canadians who were helping Jamaica build its communications, banking and transportation infrastructure at the time, I immigrated to this great country in my early 20s. Eventually, I met a wonderful Canadian Robert who has been my partner for over 30 years now, including his two lovely children, Michael and Diana.

On arrival, Royal Bank of Canada rehired me in Montreal starting as a teller again.  I enjoyed spectacular opportunities, rising from that entry-level job to the most senior ranks of Canada’s largest financial institution to my final role as a Senior Vice-president and Chief Information Security Officer, in charge of keeping the global technology system up and running and safe all day, all night, every day, all year. During my career, I was proud to work on and help lead many of the bank’s technology innovations at the time such as the banking machines, debit and credit card systems and Internet banking.   I believe that my information technology and security expertise is important and would help to ensure the future of our open democracy and transparency in government, which is now seriously at risk.

In gratitude for these opportunities, I have always wanted to give back and help others have the same opportunities. Throughout my career, I have championed, led and supported many community and charitable causes, including early childhood education, poverty reduction, women’s leadership, health and rehabilitation, employment opportunities for disabled people, seniors’ quality of life – all areas important to Toronto Centre.

I also believe that no other country in the world would have provided me with these exceptional opportunities: to experience such extraordinary professional and intellectual growth and merit-based advancements, and to be in a position to help improve the quality of life for my family and those who I have supported.

In recent years, I have begun to feel that the Canada of great opportunity and equality that I chose and love is under siege.  I have come to the conclusion that running for office under the banner of the Liberal Party of Canada that gave me hope is the best way for me to give back to this country and to our community of Toronto Centre, where I have lived for 25 years.

I hope we will have an opportunity to meet and talk soon about the issues that concern you. I hope to earn your support.
