A Southern Albertan transplant, I moved to Edmonton to further my career. As an extrovert, it’s not uncommon to find me looking for my next adventure and having spent my entire life in Southern Alberta, the move was a big one. I packed up my two teenagers, two cats, and a newly acquired puppy to see what big city living had in store for me. I have been here since 2022, and am enjoying exploring the city and surrounding areas.

I seemed to always know that psychology was where my passion lay. I was always seen as the “peace-keeper” in situations, and seeing other succeed filled me with great joy. I started the journey
early on, having started post-secondary at the age of 17. My life took me on a bit of a detour, providing me with two young kids shortly after, and my dreams were put on hold. During that time, I
continued to pursue other passions such as my love of writing, and crocheting.

After I went back to finish my degree in Psychology at the University of Lethbridge I worked in the field of disabilities for some time. I learned many valuable skills during that time, such as the ability to
advocate for another. I obtained my Masters of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University while I worked with the organization.
