My Story
Who is fortunate enough to say that they have lived in three countries? Me! I have lived and studied in Denmark, New Zealand, and of course, Canada. Most recently, I have found my way back home to Kelowna, B.C. after living in Calgary, Alberta for many years.
Travel has always been a passion of mine as have my children, boy/girl twins, who are now 20 years old! Some of my favourite things are watching my son play lacrosse and hockey and my daughter horseback riding. I love my new e-bike and especially a latte first thing in the morning! I can't forget my rescue cat, Lola!
When I turned 50 years old, I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up! Having had a successful 20+ year career as a Meetings & Events Professional working in British Columbia, Alberta, and the United States, I decided to follow my passion for Psychology and returned to University. The best thing is that my twins and I not only studied together at the dining room table but they graduated from high school the same time I graduated from grad school!
