I was born in Halifax, NS, but was grew up in Carleton Place, Ontario. We lived on a 200 acre farm outside of Ottawa, and I treasure the years that I lived there. I have loaded hay wagons, planted and harvested gardens, and helped care for our many animals.

I was born in Halifax, NS, but was grew up in Carleton Place, Ontario. We lived on a 200 acre farm outside of Ottawa, and I treasure the years that I lived there. I have loaded hay wagons, planted and harvested gardens, and helped care for our many animals.
I started my Health care career as a Health Care Aid, which inspired me to become a Registered Nurse more than 30 yrs ago. I have worked in a variety of hospital settings including ER, Pediatric ICU, Neonatal ICU as well as open heart surgery ICU. Before moving to Ste. Rose-du-Lac, I worked in southern Texas as an Infection Control Coordinator.
I moved to Ste. Rose from Texas to provide a safe, secure home for my children, and to be closer to my mother. I am proud to say that Ste. Rose-du-Lac is where I choose to continue to live. There is immense beauty all around us in this area. I love the wide open spaces, and the sense of calm. Whenever I am away, and I drive home, I know I am coming home.
I have been a Manager of Integrated Services and a Director of Nursing. I have participated in provincial and National organizations advocating for my clients and Nurse Practitioners.
I have worn a variety of hats over the years, but the most fulfilling was being a mother to 2 amazing daughters.
I believe that Life is all about changes and choices. Now is the Time to Make a CHOICE to CHANGE!!!

About You
What is the biggest issue facing your community, and how would you address it?
Dauphin riding is facing multiple issues, and it would be impossible to delineate one of them as they are intertwined. Health care access is intertwined with access to mental health, which in turn is intertwined with addiction.
With the rise in addictions comes a rise in crime which affects not only rural Manitobans, but all Manitobans. We need a holistic look at all factors which affect these issues and those that can improve our lives, including education, suitable and affordable housing and opportunities for employment.
I specifically will be advocating for improved access to health care in the community setting, advocate to cancel the decision to close and move EMS services i.e. Grandview EMS, to advocate for a Virtual Opioid Dependency Program, and to preserve our provincial parks and grasslands. I will listen and advocate for those who are unable to speak for themselves.
Manitoba is marking its 150th anniversary next year. Suggest one way we can make it a memorable occasion.
Create a video compiling Manitoba’s history and current story from various perspectives, including First Nations, Metis, Rural Manitoba and Urban Manitoba
Tell us something about yourself that voters might find surprising.
I love to sail, ride horses, and can be a dare devil- I have parachuted, rappelled and I am PADI certified scuba diver.
