About Me

Gnomio and me

Family and community are important to me. I have five children ranging from age 11 to 33, and five grandchildren. They all live here in the qathet Region. I am very committed to this community, both now and in the future.

My family, father Jack and my siblings, own and operate Jack’s Boat Yard in Lund. I have lived in this region since 2007, when I moved to live, work, and be closer to my family. While working with Jack’s Boat Yard, I was a project manager for our waterfront expansion and development, and a Lift Operator lifting boats.

Prior to that I had a career that included the following jobs:

  • Regional Economic Development Officer for the Province of BC in the Northwest area of the province.
  • Acting Aboriginal Relations Manager for the BC Ministry of Forests in the Prince Rupert Forest Region.
  • Treaty Officer, Ministry of Forests, Prince Rupert Region.
  • EMA-FA for BC Ambulance in Stewart, BC.
  • Aboriginal Relations Manager for Alberta Environment, Central Region, in Red Deer, Alberta.
  • Financial Manager for my husband’s logging businesses from 1996 to 2007.

I have been a City Councillor since November of 2018 and my 2018-2022 portfolio included:

  • Arts, Culture & Heritage.
  • Social Action & Planning, Affordable Housing.
  • City Liaison to Community Futures Development Corporation.
  • Western Stillwater & Island Timberlands, Community Advisory Group Liaison Appointee.
