She is a graduate of Carleton University with a degree in Political Science and later completed the Management Development Program for Women with the Sprott School of Business. Her earlier career was focussed in non-profit including time with the YMCA-YWCA where she worked with newcomers to Canada and those in our community seeking help finding employment. She enjoys a new sense of fulfillment now helping her clients to become homeowners, real estate investors and financially sound. Her focus for clients is to educate them on the process and work with them to develop long term plans.

She hopes that others use her as an example that despite adversity and the challenges we face, we must always seek to fulfill our dreams no matter how others may respond. Being your best you is the best gift you can give to those around you.
