My Story

Born and raised in Edmonton and a proud graduate of St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School, I’ve built my life around family, faith, and community. Alongside my husband and son, I co-own a growing repair, maintenance, and small construction service company, and together with our four children and family dog, we stay active across Ward 77.

​

Before serving as Trustee, I was involved with School Advisory Councils, including four years as President, which deepened my commitment to supporting students and families in a strong Catholic faith environment.

​

I have served as a Trustee with Edmonton Catholic Schools for 15 years, across four terms. During this time, I have had the privilege of serving as Chair of the Board three times, Vice-Chair, and Chair of the Governance Committee. I am honored to represent the Board on the Council of Elders, a role I have held for the past eight years. I have also successfully completed my Catholic School Trustee Certification through Newman Theological College.

​

Community involvement within Ward 77 includes collaboration with Southeast Communities Sspomitapi and Karhiio, early learning coalitions, inter-agency initiatives, active participation with Community Leagues through the Mill Woods Presidents’ Council, and engagement with the St. Theresa and Corpus Christi Family of Schools. I have also served on The Meadows Community League Board as Vice President, Secretary, and Children’s Director. Active membership at Corpus Christi Catholic Church and the Catholic Women’s League reflects a belief that strong, faith-filled Catholic schools grow from strong Catholic communities.

​

The goal as Trustee is simple: every student deserves to learn and grow in a faith environment where they can live, learn, and serve God each day.
