My Story

I’m born and raised right here in Fort McMurray. I went to Dr. Clark, Timberlea, and Westwood Community High — proud to be a local through and through. Like many young adults, I had my share of struggles. But I found my path when I enrolled at Keyano College and took the Educational Assistant program under a group of great ladies!

Right after finishing, my cousin asked me to come work for their company — and that decision changed my life. It’s where I met my husband, Colin.

In 2014, I realized office life wasn’t for me. So, I returned to Keyano to continue my childhood studies, determined to open my own dayhome. We were so close to making that dream a reality… and then, life threw me a curveball.

While five months pregnant, I had a stroke. My son — who turns nine this May — was born healthy and strong. I’m the one who came out of it with physical impairments. Yet I survived, and I learned how to fight — for myself and for others.

One day while scrolling Facebook, I came across the Voice of Albertans with Disabilities. Their Executive Director, Margot Brunner, not only helped me access the disability support I desperately needed — she believed in me. She invited me to join the board. Today, I proudly serve as Vice President, and I carry Margot’s legacy with me in everything I do. I also attended Leadership Wood Buffalo held by Fuse Social in 2024!

I’m not a polished speaker. I stutter from my stroke. My words don’t always come out smoothly. But I have passion — and passion, not perfection, is what this community needs.  

I’m honored to serve this community, in whatever way I can — whether through advocacy, leadership, or simply showing up with heart. Fort McMurray raised me, and now I’m ready to give back.
