Juanita has been living in South Keys since 2015, where she bought her first apartment and learned the role of property taxes. In 2018 she started her Masters in Public Policy and Administration at Carleton, where she met a professor deeply passionate about urban policy and learned about the role of cities in Canada.

Juanita has experience working as a federal public servant and engages in academic research on policy development. She looks forward to putting these skills to good use through her involvement with Horizon
