Personal
I grew up on the west side of Montreal, where there is a large English speaking community. Most kids in my neighborhood were fully bilingual by age 12. Speaking two languages has certainly been an asset in Montreal, and even here in Alberta.
In the early 90’s I started a family and was able to spend a few wonderful years at home with my two boys. Our family moved out to Calgary in 2005 and to Strathmore in April, 2006. In my free time, I try to get to the gym as much as I can. I particularly enjoy running, biking, aerobics, weight lifting and swimming. If I’m not at the gym, I am at home cooking or reading a good book.
Strathmore is a great town and I hope to have many more happy years here. I find I don’t miss the big city at all.
Education
By grade 10, I had decided to study accounting and after finishing high school, I enrolled in a college business administration program and obtained my technical degree in 1990.
Professional
When I returned to the workforce after staying home with my two boys, accounting was not in the cards for me. I worked for many years in customer service, in a wide variety of industries and also worked as a dispatcher. I believe this varied experience has made me a well rounded employee. Gregory, Harriman & Associates has given me the opportunity to return to my first love, accounting, allowing me to expand my accounting knowledge.
