A bit about me . . .
Born and raised in Calgary, my roots in this province run deep, with my husband Ken also a native Calgarian. I am the proud Mother of two wonderful adult children, as well as to several adorable fur babies over the years. A highly social Libran who is awed by earth's oceans, loves red wine, and who's favourite time of year is fall. Next to family and friends, my top feel good go to's are food & fine wine, fresh air, fitness, and fur babies. Others describe me as friendly and empathetic, with a profound belief in compassion, respect, and integrity. I am also known to enjoy a sense of humor, love to laugh, and have fun!
My professional resume includes 30 years in the Oil & Gas industry, followed by 8 years in the Tradeshow/Display industry, in varying administrative roles. Over time, my career, and numerous diverse volunteer opportunities, afforded me continuous and extensive personal and professional growth experiences. All have been fundamental in identifying my strengths and abilities, shaping who I am today, and ultimately . . . discovering my passion in the role of a Funeral Celebrant. A seasoned professional with skill highlights that include public speaking, writing, event planning, and communication . . . with strong focus on detail, efficiency, and organization.
My journey into the role of a Funeral Celebrant has been calculatingly slow, steady, and nothing short of AMAZING! In the telling of each life story, I learn more about love, challenge, adversity, success . . . sometimes quite simply told, and other times with more complexity and depth. The stories are never the same, and always unique . . . . . . . . . . . like the leaves on a tree. |
