Born in Alberta, I grew up in BC and came to Prince George in 1992 to open the Bookstore at UNBC. My husband, Charles, and I have three grown sons, two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren.

I bring a number of skills to City Council. 

·      As an active volunteer, I am experienced in creating cohesion on boards whose members have a variety of perspectives and relational styles.

·      My service on the Salvation Army’s Community Council has informed me about the needs of our less advantaged citizens, as well as ways to meaningfully impact their lives.

·      My service on the Prince George Council of Seniors and the board of Riverbend (seniors housing), as well as through my church (Grace Anglican) has created a strong understanding of the challenges facing seniors in our community.

·      As a sitting Councillor with 8 years experience, I am very familiar with the opportunities and challenges facing those at the Council table.
