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.​ Most recently, I completed my Canadian Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH), and in 2025, I became certified in Holistic Nursing, Nurse Coaching, and Consultancy (CCHNC-C) 

​

This pathway of experiences and learning opportunities 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-centred, 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.
