Summary

My passion is Nutrition. I love preparing, and sharing my passion and meals with others.


I enjoy cooking classes and have attended many Chef taught events.


I am adept in nutritional knowledge and have exceptional interpersonal skills, I've successfully guided clients at Jenny Craig towards healthier lifestyles. Leveraging culinary expertise and effective communication, I've fostered trust, enhanced wellness plans, and conducted impactful workshops, significantly improving client health outcomes.

Choosing the Broadcast industry as my primary career

3 decades ago and have had an amazing tenure as Media Manager at Global News/Corus Entertainment. I saw the world through the eyes of the Newsroom, excelled at my positions and made lifelong friends. Recently my contribution was recognized and I finished my TV Career crossing the finish line with gratitude.


What a JOY it would be to join in my community programs as a class instructor. I am happy to share some of my culinary photos any time, with a warning they will make you hungry!


Having fun cooking with others as a Recreation Instructor just sounds like an excellent fit.

Additional Information

My first job was working for the municipality I lived in. I worked for Parks & Recreation. How fun would it be to AGAIN work for the municipality I live in ! Full Circle!

i was raised on a farm in a rural community I have gardening, canning, animal care and collection exposure.

I watched my parents and neighbours work together to establish a thriving community. My experiences

Working for the City of Dawson Creek gave me great pride to contribute along side residents, family and friends.


As I navigate my new found freedom, I was hopeful for a casual styled position in one of my life pursuits/ passions.

It was amazing to see how this one posting ticked all the boxes.

I am fun, reliable , outgoing, passionate about cooking, continually expanding my own nutritional knowledge for personal growth

AND I love my community.

Hope you find this a winning combination!
