“Ally” is a verb, an action and I am committed to elevating marginalized voices, I spearheaded DE&I and governance training as Past President of the Greater Westside Board of Trade (GWBOT), and rewrote bylaws for inclusive language. I created an advisory seat for Kelowna Pride Society and fostered respectful collaboration with Westbank First Nation. With her background in community relations and marketing, I now serve as Director of Communications for Advocacy Canada, unifying voices for positive change.
My seven years with GWBOT, including my presidency, were marked by impactful initiatives and a focus on empowering future leaders. Awarded Top 40 Over 40, I continue to serve my community, currently representing GWBOT on the YLW Airport Advisory Council, holding a seat on the Communications Advisory Committee for Okanagan College and volunteering for Jewels of Hope.
