Meet Tissa

Decades of service.
A commitment to community.

“I believe in listening, understanding people’s needs and advocating for those I serve.”

15+ Years in mortgage service
3 Children · proud father

I am married and a proud father of three children. For more than 15 years, I have worked as a licensed mortgage professional, supporting families and our community.

My career spans decades of service to Canadians, beginning in hospitality with globally recognized brands including Hilton, Marriott and IHG, and continuing in mortgage services, where I have helped families understand their options and find practical solutions.

My professional experience has taught me the importance of listening, understanding people’s needs, finding practical solutions and advocating for those I serve.

I want to bring that same commitment to Ward 4 and the City of Welland: working hard, listening to residents and helping build a stronger community for families, seniors, businesses and future generations.
