She previously served as the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, where she led record housing investments through the 10-year Homes for BC plan to build housing of all types in communities throughout the province. She also managed major capital investments in public transit through her work with the Mayors’ Council and TransLink and worked tirelessly to support local governments through the pandemic.

As a former city councillor, Selina fought to protect the health of children and families by introducing a local ban on cosmetic pesticides and worked to improve access for people with disabilities as chair of the Coquitlam Universal Access-Ability Advisory Committee. 

Before being elected, Selina had a home-based family therapy practice, was the Director of Development for SHARE Family and Community Services and was a Counselling Instructor and Program Developer at the University of British Columbia’s Life and Learning Centre and Vancouver Community College.
