BOARD MEMBER

My passion for learning and literacy stem from my experiences. My parents are passionate about education and worked hard to ensure their children had the best chance at a wonderful future. Thanks to them and the foundation they provided my siblings and I, I pursued a Bachelors' Degree in Business Administration and a Diploma in Accounting. I am currently studying to get my CPA Designation, with an expected completion of 2023.

In addition to my childhood experiences, I have the privilege of being an Aunt to two beautiful nieces and three handsome nephews. I am particularly close to my niece that also lives in Fort McMurray. Following her birth, I witnessed firsthand the joy and happiness Imagination Library of Wood Buffalo brought to her and her parents (that is, my sister and her husband). I have since met other families and children within the Wood Buffalo region that benefited from the program. I can confidently say that the Imagination Library of Wood Buffalo played a vital role in shaping my niece into an avid reader. She loves all things books (especially Chapter books) and was a fluent reader by age 4!

In addition to my passion for literacy and desire to help children succeed, I believe that my knowledge and background in accounting will be an asset to the Imagination Library of Wood Buffalo. I look forward to serving as a board member with the Imagination Library of Wood Buffalo and supporting the organization's amazing work.
