I’ve seen this city grow past the grain elevators in Ellerslie and far up through the clouds of downtown, and I am truly proud of how far we have come as a city and knowing the people are still as humble as small-town folks. As I return to the real estate market after establishing a successful design and manufacturing business with my husband, I am reminded of how much I love this city. I am motivated to keep as many people here as possible to help grow our communities and continue to make Edmonton one of the best places to live in Canada.

I took a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education- A degree in PE… yeah that’s me. BUT as they say, some of the best years of my life were going through University. The community of people I met, the courses and learnings I had, and the achievements I made are something to be very proud of. I mean, who wouldn’t be proud of learning to flip and recover in a kayak? Or, on the opposite spectrum learning the human anatomy through a cadaver. This degree brought challenge, friendship, commitment, and fulfilment. It shaped my career path and gave me opportunities I may never have had. I came out of this degree taking a job working with a Paralympic athlete, which eventually evolved into going to the London 2012 games with Team Canada. This spawned a love for travel and seeing the world from a different perspective.
