I’ve been a fishing bait salesgirl, a paper mill tour guide, and a waitress-extraordinaire, but once my path directed me to public health, I was here to stay. I’ve worked as a Health Promotion Planner for nearly two decades – Yikes already! To me, it’s not just a job, it’s what I live and breathe. I truly believe in the power of prevention and helping people be as healthy as possible – physically and mentally at whatever life stage they’re at. My mantra is simple: Thank you! Thank you, I say, to living in beautiful northwestern Ontario, to my perfectly imperfect family, genuine friends, cable knit sweaters, and any chance to enjoy a cup of good coffee with biscotti!
