I started working in community newspapers in high school, and after journalism school started my career in at theWesterly News in Ucluelet. Since then I have worked on Vancouver Island in Port Hardy, Port Alberni and now as regional publisher for Parksville Qualicum Beach, Port Alberni and the West Coast.
I have three children and five grandchildren living in far off places and I travel often to visit them. I enjoy hiking, yoga, reading, knitting and gardening.
