Personal
I have lived in Strathmore with my three amazing kids since 2001. We are kept busy with school and sports activities for most of the year and enjoy spending our warm weekends at the lake. I am entering my fourth year as Treasurer for Parent Council and hold various volunteer positions related to the sports that my children are involved in. I have done a fair amount of travelling and enjoy meeting people and experiencing new surroundings.
Education
My education has been obtained through night school, seminars and “hands on” experience. I have an Oil & Gas Production Accounting Certificate from S.A.I.T. and have completed four courses towards the Bachelor of Business Administration at Mount Royal College.
Professional
My first twelve years were extremely busy. I worked full time in the financial and oil & gas industry. Weekends I worked in the tourism industry as a ski guide, white water rafting guide and as an outdoor facilitator for U of C programs. During my next twelve years I was self employed providing bookkeeping services and QuickBooks & Simply Accounting training. I feel that the variety of experience has been of great benefit when adapting to clients’ individual requirements.
Joining the GH&A team in 2007 as an Accounting Technician was a fantastic decision. After working in “the trenches” I now have the opportunity to take my knowledge up a level and work on company year ends, income tax and all other assignments sent my way. I continue to learn and am appreciative to do so amongst such an awesome group of people.
