About Me
I am an office manager/case worker currently employed at the Drayton Valley - Devon constituency office. My goal is to help our Metis Citizens move closer to self-determination, greater independence and give citizens more power to assert and exercise their rights. To achieve this goal, I am running for Citizen Representative of District 8 within the Otipemisiwak Metis Government. I have 9 years of hands-on experience navigating the provincial government on behalf of constituents to access resources and find solutions in issues ranging from Education to Healthcare, Seniors to Housing.
I view my constituents as family and treat their concerns as my own. I have the necessary experience in government to help our new district council introduce and pass laws within the new Otipemisiwak Metis government and represent our District's interests at the provincial level.
When I'm not serving my constituents, I love to garden, harvest plants for traditional medicines and go rockhounding along the North Saskatchewan river. I have been with my wonderful husband for 33 years and have two adult children.
Experience
I have been involved with the community since moving to Drayton Valley in 1995
*School council for 18 years in 5 different schools
One of the most rewarding projects I completed was helping to design and build the Eco-garden on 50th and 50th in Drayton Valley for Eldorado students.
I was also awarded the Alberta Teachers Association "Volunteer of the year"
*10 years working for the Government of Alberta as the Constituency Office Manager and Caseworker for the past 3 MLA’s both within government and as the official opposition
I am employed at the Drayton Valley-Devon Constituency office where my primary job is to listen to concerns from local residents and help advocate for and find solutions to those concerns. My strengths are fairness, integrity, and empathy. I am not afraid to ask the hard questions and still be able to work as a member of a team.
My Promise
When Elected
-
I will work hard to make sure that your voices will be heard at the provincial level.
-
I will be available, responsive and quick to address concerns brought to me by our citizens.
