I came to Calgary as a young child and I am proud to call Calgary home. I am married with two adult children and four granchildren. I have a Bachelor Degree in Education, have been a teacher for 21 years and I am now a Principal for the Calgary Board of Education. I have a Masters Degree in School Administration and my research was conducted in the field of school safety. I am pleased and humbled to be asked to serve on the board of directos for Bridges of Love. It is ministry that is in a new field of emergency preparedness and takes seriously the call to love our neighbour. Thank you for this opportunity.
