I’ve been a nurse since 2003, after graduating with Distinction from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. But even before that, I was working in healthcare—as a Psychiatric Aide and Undergraduate Nurse—learning early on how much I loved supporting people through meaningful life moments.

​

For over 22 years, I’ve focused my nursing practice on caring for women, mothers, and babies through pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum, and surgical recovery. It’s work I feel truly passionate about. Supporting families during such a powerful and personal time is something I consider both a privilege and an honour. Over the years, I’ve built a deep well of knowledge, skills, and experience that I now bring into a more holistic, community-based approach to care.

​

Like many in healthcare, I’m always learning. Most recently, I’ve been working as a Second Birth Attendant alongside an amazing team of Registered Midwives in Central Alberta. In 2024, I completed my Canadian Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH), and I’ll soon be certified in Holistic Nursing, Nurse Coaching, and Consultancy through the Canadian Institute of Integrative Nursing Development & Education.

​

This path—and the many learning opportunities along the way—led me to create United Community Wellness, a place to offer the kind of care that meets people where they’re at: whole-person, heart-centered, and grounded in both experience and compassion.

​

Outside of nursing, my biggest love is my family. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we have three amazing kids—our oldest is a young adult now, and the younger two are teens. Life at home is full and busy, but it’s also where I find the most joy and growth. I’ve lived in Alberta my whole life—raised on a farm in a small town, spent a few years in the city, and then happily returned to rural life after university. I’m a daughter, sister, auntie, niece, and friend—and those roles shape how I show up in the world, both personally and professionally.
