Why are you the best candidate for this position?
I got a lot from Canada and it is time to give back to the community and the country as my thank you. There is a lot in the city that I strongly feel needs improvement. Among the issues I will help improve are: public transportation, safety and security, senior citizens concerns, accountability and accessibility, city wide bike lane infrastructure, garbage, creating environment-friendly initiatives etc. If elected, I will bring fresh energy and enthusiasm to city hall. I am a team player and I will work closely with my colleagues at cty hall to bring about the changes our great city deserves. I will do my utmost to make this fast-growing great multicultural city a better living and working place for all.

Personal bio:
I am a proud Canadian. I graduated in 2003 from Seneca College in Computer Engineering and then joined Ryerson University in Information Technology Management. Traveling many parts of the world, I learned the great value of community service, which always played a key role in my life. I undertook initiatives to raise funds benefiting organizations like Sick Kids Foundation, UNICEF and other similar institutions both locally and internationally. Being an education, arts and sport enthusiast, I will engage youth of my ward in the aforementioned activities. This will help take them off the streets and put them into progressive and meaningful careers.

Who do you plan to support for mayor?

I’m willing to work with any mayor who has a realistic and long-term vision for our city.
