I have witnessed the power of Rotary firsthand through my dad’s membership in the organization and am excited to be able to follow in his footsteps. After careers in broadcasting and education, I am looking forward in my retirement to more involvement in community service.

 

Previously, I have volunteered on the boards of the Twin Brooks Community League and the Alberta Middle School Association (now the Middle Years Council of the ATA), including the roles of Communications Director and President. I have also been on planning committees of several provincial conferences of the ATA ranging from Fine Arts to English Language Arts. In addition to being a teacher, I enjoyed presenting professional development sessions at the school, division, and provincial levels.

 

In 2021 I retired as a junior high humanities and drama teacher following thirty years in the classroom. Prior to that I worked as a radio news reporter in Kamloops, BC. I am also a certified yoga teacher and meditation instructor.

 

I look forward to the contribution and connection that Rotary can provide and would be a proud member of the fun, fearless, and focused Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue.
