I was born and raised in the west end of Toronto, in what was known as the village of Swansea.

I have always been a very community minded individual and have been actively involved in service groups such as Big Sisters, Big Brothers, United Way, School Fund Raisers, the Cancer Society and the Royal Victoria Cancer Clinic in Barrie.

I am a graduate of York University graduate with a major in English and a minor in Humanities.

I have lived in Toronto, Sudbury, Chatham Kent, Horseshoe Valley and Barrie.

My background has entrenched in me a strong commitment to education and community.

My interests include travel, reading, decorating, skiing, the Arts (opera, symphony), music both classical and contemporary, hockey and gardening.

I have been licensed as a Real Estate Professional to list and sell Real Estate in the Province of Ontario since 1996.

My previous work experience includes working in the buying offices of a large department store in downtown Toronto, a public servant in three locations for 14 years and self-employment including owning my own business.

I pride myself on my commitment to my clients and their needs.
