01 / WHAT WE VALUE
Celebrating Our Student Success
Markham Ward 3 & 4 is home to some of the strongest schools in Ontario — a track record built by dedicated educators, engaged families, and students who rise to the challenge.
​
Our students deserve schools that keep pace with a changing world, preparing them not just to succeed on a test, but to thrive in life. That means strong academic skills as the foundation, practical life skills that build confidence and independence, and real career readiness — from trades exposure to future-focused pathways — so every student leaves our school ready for whatever comes next.
​
None of that is possible without schools where every student feels safe, supported, and included, which is why I remain committed to advancing the Board's Health & Well-Being and Human Rights & Inclusive Education priorities alongside academic success.
Opportunities to explore
Experiential learning and STEAM help students discover interests and build practical skills.
Many paths to achievement
Programs such as Specialist High Skills Major, co-op, and athletics-academic learning make room for different ambitions.
A community that belongs
Students do best when they are welcomed, supported, and connected to their schools.
02 / WHAT COMES NEXT
Building What Comes Next
I am committed to continue building relationships, giving support, sharing experience, and bridging perspectives — inside the boardroom, schools and out in our community. That means working directly with students, families, and educators as partners, listening closely, and bringing what I learn from the ground into every policy decision I help shape at the board table.
Students
Every student's future looks different — I'll support and equip them to explore it, with real pathways and real-world experience along the way.
Families
I'll partner with families and connect them with the tools to stay engaged — in their child's learning, their school, and their pathwway forward.
Educators
I'll advocate for the resources, time, and support educators need to deliver the programs and experiences that prepare our students for what's next.
03 / IN THE BOARDROOM
What I Do Inside the YRDSB Boardroom
Community advocacy for families and students.
Protecting the results in “Celebrating Our Success” takes someone at the board table actively fighting for them. Here’s what I do:
01
Advocate for continued funding of enrichment and specialized programs - STEAM, athletics-integraton model, advanced pathways and academic models in budget discussions.
02
Push for continued investment in what's already working - strong schools should not be deprioritized.
03
Monitor boundary and capacity decisions so growth does not erode the conditions behind these results.
04
Keep academic outcomes in board oversight alongside responsible spending.
05
Continue to support and advocate for our achievements in special education and student success programs, helping level up every student in an inclusive, supportive way.

05 / ABOUT ED LAW
Experience grounded in community.
I am a parent of three first-generation children and a longtime community volunteer. Coaching youth basketball and mentoring aspiring coaches has shown me how much young people grow when they are given confidence and opportunity.
My background in business, engineering, governance, and financial planning informs how I approach board decisions. I have also worked with school boards on student success initiatives, including career presentations and co-op placements.
