Personal
Having grown up here, I feel Strathmore is a great community to raise my three kids, Reilly, Raegan and Quaid. We enjoy skiing and skating in the winter and golf and water activities in the summer. Travelling has also provided us all with great and memorable experiences.
Education
After graduating with a Commerce Degree from the University of Calgary, I obtained my CMA designation. Though I thought anyone who would choose to work in the not-for-profit sector must be crazy, that is exactly where I began my accounting career.
Professional
Starting with the Western Heritage Center in Cochrane I ultimately ended up back in Strathmore working for the municipality. Despite my initial instincts about not-for-profit organizations, I found my positions to be very challenging and rewarding. I joined GH&A in 2003 when I returned to work after my youngest son was born.
Management and administration are the areas I find most gratifying. The experience I have gained working in the not-for-profit and municipal sectors has naturally led me in the direction of audit work with GH&A, which I really enjoy.
