What is your position/title and company, and what do you do there?
I am the Administrator for Penticton Women in Business. I work with the PWIB Board of Directors to plan and facilitate networking and educational events for all interested women, at any stage of, or position in business.
Additionally, I serve the community as a Marriage Commissioner, officiating ceremonies throughout the South Okanagan, and my position with New Age Ariix allows me to assist others globally in transforming their health and wealth.
How long have you been in the Okanagan? If you aren't originally from the valley, what led you to call the Okanagan home? Born and raised in Nova Scotia, I first came to the Okanagan in the late 70’s, with a stop in Saskatchewan as I headed west. After a few years in Northern Alberta in the 80’s, the beauty and the people of Penticton, and the opportunities that abound here, called me back and I am happy to have been able to reside here ever since.
What do you enjoy most about your role with the Penticton Chamber?
I enjoy developing strategies to serve our members, as well as celebrating the business community (through events) and promoting connections. I found serving on the task force that led to hiring our current Executive Director both engaging and fulfilling.
