Both of my sons are very talented and creative. Adam is in a program that targets art. Nathan is very talented with photography.

I chose this career path because I worked in the child care field for 20 years and worked with children with special needs. I have two sons on the autism spectrum and I saw the need to help this community. I am also an adjunct facilitator at Columbia College.

I received a Master of Social Work in counseling and a bachelor's degree in early childhood education.

My biggest challenge is working on things. I am a strength-based person.

I am a generalist. My greatest strengths are in preventive skills and parenting assistance.

My greatest accomplishment is being an adjunct facilitator at Columbia College.

My professional goal is to collaborate with my sons who are artists, and create a parenting program using photographs as visuals. I also want to continue to write poetry.

I am inspired by hope and having the ability to go into people's homes to interact with their children.

I was named a Top Female Professional in 2015.

I volunteer at Foot Hill United Church and the Action Hall Alliance Group.

I enjoy spending time with my sons and doing something with my husband's photography in his memory.
