I am the mother of Amelia (Beetlebugs). My husband and I moved to Pemberton 4 years ago, at the end of 2016, and started our family here.

I am currently retail accessories buyer for Whistler Blackcomb. I thought about joining the board for a couple years and finally decided to take the leap after having our 2nd baby and realizing being involved in our children's education and care was something very important to me.
