I attended McMaster University where I studied communications and business. I received my BA in business then continued my studies with a wide variety of interest subjects including Cyber Crime at Laurier University.

10 years ago, I retired from the court system in Northern Ontario and moved to Brantford. I have always been active in my community, from cooking for the Cub Scouts at Mount Nemo camp to sitting on a variety of Boards.

Community has always been important to me. I am a business owner, community volunteer and civic leader dedicated to building strong, inclusive communities. I bring expertise in communication, organization, and service.

Serving on several community boards, I am always advocating for diversity and inclusion and I am passionate about supporting local community initiatives.

Outside my professional and volunteer work, I enjoy boxing, dancing with the Ontario Rhythm Cloggers and staying actively engaged in community events.
