A bit about me…

I have a deep commitment to helping women feel empowered through every stage in life. I carry many roles, a mother of two, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and friend. These roles have taught me so much about myself and the world around me and has propelled me into work based in equity and diversity. Outside of working, I enjoy exploring new self-care practices while balancing a busy family life and extra-curricular activities. I love to read or listen to audiobooks, crafting, and dancing. I love being outdoors, minus the bugs, and love being with others, particularly while sharing a delicious meal.

I look forward to helping you tap into your strengths and all those things that make you uniquely you.

Please note, if you have a school-aged child attending the Durham District School Board (DDSB), it would be a conflict of interest for me to collaborate with you at this time, as I am also employed at the DDSB. As such, I would encourage to select one of my teammates that would be more than happy to assist.
