Mother, rancher, wildlife specialist

I nursed as a causal LPN a in both long-term care facilities and hospitals until a position was created for me a the Fraser River Ranch, The Blue Goose Cattle Company.  My husband and I managed it for 15 years before moving over to a much larger operation, managing the Alkali Lake Ranch, Douglas Lake Cattle Company for the past year.  My son plays for the Wranglers and I am considering a change in careers, to be closer to him and provide my daughter the chance to live and attend school in a town, instead of through distance learning.   I am also a contract employee of BC Cattlemen's, humanely trapping problem predators for ranchers in the vicinity.
