I am originally from Manitoba and moved to BC in 1995, living until January 2024 in the TriCities. When I am not working, I love to cook, bake, and wander in the woods.

I worked at the Coquitlam Public Library for 20 years, enjoying working with others to build a diverse library collection and create an inclusive and welcoming space. I now work at the Powell River Public Library as Assistant Chief Librarian.

When I moved to Powell River I learned that qathet meant working together. As someone who is new to the Sunshine Coast, a sense of belonging and connection is really important to me and discovering a community that embraces the concept of working together really resonated. When I learned about all of the many ways Lift was supporting the community, I really wanted to be a part of it.

I am really excited to join the board and work with the amazing people at Lift.
