My husband, Nigel and I have lived in the Kitchener-Waterloo Region for over 20 years.  Prior to that we lived in Brighton, UK for 10 years and returned to Canada to spend time with our then baby granddaughter.  In my professional life I have primarily worked with small businesses and social justice organizations as an administrative assistant and financial coordinator.  I volunteer with various organizations and I am most proud of my work as co-chair of the Wilmot Terry Fox Run for 10 years.
