Moved to the Lower Columbia region 10 years ago to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. She chose to stay at home with her kids, after working in Law Enforcement for 8 years. Upon her return to work she decided to change direction. In a variety of capacities, she has worked to support families in the area for the last 6 years. Currently she works at the Skills centre to improve the lives of families living with low income.

She is also the Executive Director of a local non-profit, the Family Action Network, where she dedicates her time to ensuring communities invest in families and to build a village of supports, to make this region the best place to raise a child.
