MY STORY
Raised in Ontario, I moved to Victoria 20 years ago. The coast is now my home and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends in this beautiful little part of the world.
I have had the privilege of being invited to the table in businesses, community organizations, non-profits, Indigenous communities, schools and government offices. When organizations are looking for someone to bring a high level of empathy, understanding, problem solving and conflict resolution they call me. It is not a privilege I take lightly and I am humbled by what I continue to learn from others.
I love working with organizations who are committed to creating a work environment where people feel heard, valued, and included.
I am a Qualified Mediator with ADRBC, a Registered Roster Member with Mediate BC and I am certified in EQi and EQi 360 Assessments.
COMMUNITY
I enjoy giving back to my community. I was involved with the Victoria Society for Children with Autism as both a board member and President. I am a founding member of 100+ Women Who Care Victoria, an organization that has fundraised and donated over $100,000 annually for charities in Greater Victoria.
