I’m an Acadian originally from Fredericton, New Brunswick.  I met my husband in Ottawa where I lived for 12 years and we moved to his hometown of Shelburne NS in 2005.  I fell in love with living in a small town and the sense of community that I found here.  We are currently living in Wentzell Lake and go back every summer to Shelburne. 

Over the years, I’ve worked for the federal government as both a public servant for the Canadian Transportation Agency and as a consultant for Shared Services Canada in the past and currently with the Canadian Space Agency.  My areas of focus are organizational effectiveness, change management, internal communications and engagement and planning.

I’ve also worked with businesses on their strategic planning needs as well as with non-profit organizations.  For example, I’ve worked with a number of rural transit associations with their business plans and supported museums with developing their strategic plans.

One of my most rewarding professional experiences was as the coordinator and co-facilitator of Growth Starts Here, a community leadership and engagement initiative that brought together community leaders to develop skills and identify projects to meet community needs.
