WHAT LED YOU TO BE INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR ASK WELLNESS SOCIETY?
I have worked in Health Care and the Fitness Industry my entire adult life, since 1989! I moved to Penticton from Dawson Creek after attending Northern Lights College, to continue my education and live in our beautiful community. Before joining ASK, I’ve worked in group homes, managed a home for a C2 quadriplegic, worked with Interior Health, and have personal experience in home share.

I’ve built relationships with community contacts that have supported me in my career development, which I truly value and cherish.
