Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team

Married for 23+ years. Homeschooled my 3 children. Work history in Health Care and currently a Supervisor in the Disability sector.
I have lived experience and understanding of the Foster Care system, Social Services, Health Care, Disability, Education and Court Systems.

Born and raised in Alberta, my heart and mind connect with many others facing so many challenges.

The oldest of six children, I have witnessed the effects of mental illness, and the difficulties it brought raised in poverty, I understand the real challenges that many in our society face. Overcoming many hurdles, I was determined to not be another statistic.

I’d be honoured to use this lived experience and strength to help our province and constituents overcome many of the difficulties we face today.

Married to my best friend Trevor for 23+ years. We have three children that I homeschooled for seven years , I understand our provincial education system.

With experience as a Health Care Aide, and currently working as a Supervisor in the Disability sector, I also understand the challenges facing Healthcare and Social Services..
