Chair1. As you know 51% of the Board membership is comprised of military family members so tell us what is your connection to the military community?
I am both a military spouse and daughter. My father is a lifelong Air Force member. My husband is in the navy.
2. What drew you to get involved and volunteer to be a part of the MFRC Board of Directors? What inspires you to continue to be part of the organization?
The MFRC has been a big part of my life for a long time. I played there as a child in Gander, attended programs or volunteered as a youth then was employed in Gagetown, and have been attending playdates and running LLL meetings from the Shearwater MFRC for the last 5 years. It has always been welcoming, supportive, and helpful. I am excited to play a part in that.
3. Tell us a bit about your life experience, education or work background and how it assists in contributing as a member of the Board of Directors.
I was raised in a military household, was an active air cadet, went on to receive a BSc and a BEd in secondary education. I’ve had numerous jobs, including working at the MFRC and in the school system, giving me a number of different skills. For the past five years I’ve stayed home with my children and instead pursued entrepreneurial ventures instead. All this experience has given me work ethic, time management skills, communication skills, and many others that will contribute to my being a member of the board.
