I am passionate about my part-time work at Hospice House, assisting with client intake, wellness programs, and administrative support. My background includes roles as a 911 police dispatcher, admin support in the Canadian Forces, and managing VIU’s Behavioural Neuroscience Lab. I'm a volunteer with a local free food market and NCHS on the PCU. I have an Honours BSc. in Psychology and a Certificate in Addiction studies from VIU, a BA in Anthropology from McMaster University, End-of-Life Doula certification from Douglas College, and am currently working towards my Master of Social Work with Wilfrid Laurier University. Married with four children, I enjoy knitting, hiking, reading, and have a passion for hospice and community service.
