"There is no shortage of causes in this world, just a shortage of leaders who can inspire us to pursue them." - Simon Sinek
Walking the path of Jesus in service to others is a big part of who I am. As a 20 year volunteer for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, I sit as conference president for my home parish of Corpus Christi, as well as the president for North Particular Council. This role has allowed me along with a great group of St. Vincentian colleagues to oversee many valuable service projects with various local Catholic schools.
I hold a BSc in petroleum engineering from the University of Wyoming and have lived in wards 4 & 7 (MacEwan, Collingwood, Kensington) for 27 years.
I am an avid football fan, like to golf, and enjoy walking my two furry best friends, Millie and Maisy. Whenever possible, I spend time at our farm in the Bergen area gardening, cooking and entertaining the very best of friends.
My Family... My Why
My Family... My Why
I am a lifelong Calgarian, married to my husband, Trevor for thirty years. Together we have two grown sons, who have given me incredible purpose on this planet. I know that I am a trustee today by the hand of God and every single experience that they have given me as a mother. Those experiences shape my decisions at the board table for each and every child I have the great blessing to represent.
You lose your way when you lose your why.

Alberta School Boards Association

Currently, I sit at the board table of the Alberta School Boards Association as a director. This has given me great experience understanding the landscape of education on a provincial scale. Prior to this position I represented CSSD at ASBA - Zone 5 where I had the great pleasure to work with local trustees from other divisions on the Edwin Parr committee that awards the very best first year teachers for their service to students.
