Born and raised in Elkford BC. I ventured out for approximately 10 years and then moved back with my husband to raise a family. My fist child was born in 2005 and his name is Holden. In 2009 we got him diagnosed with ASD. We did extensive intervention and he will now be attending university in the fall. I have advocated for my son and others with special needs for many years. I hope to continue helping the families of my community and the Elk Valley.
