Hi! I'm Keren!
I am a public health advocate, community organizer, city builder, and your neighbour. I began my career as a teacher in a rural, Indigenous community. That experience has led me down a path of public health research, policy development, and advocacy for positive change – from down the block to City Hall.
Forward Thinking
Decisions made by City Council affect each ward uniquely now and for years to come. We need more big picture and systems thinkers with bold new approaches, and that is the lens I bring to city council. Lasting, significant change doesn’t come without decision-making that pushes the envelope toward a better future for our communities.
People First
I believe in people-first decision-making and that everyday Edmontonians can shape our city’s present and future. I want your voice to be heard! I will build bridges between diverse points of view, bring community ideas to life, and work with you to build our city, together, as your City Councillor for Ward Karhiio.
