Originally an Alberta girl, our family moved to Penticton when I was very young so I can say I’m a true- blue Okanagan gal through and through. Usually surrounded by family and friends, you can often find me cycling, walking, houseboating or sharing in some amazing local wines. My passion is to protect those that don’t have a voice as all animals are near and dear to my heart. I volunteered 5 years with the BCSPCA, sitting on the provincial, regional and local Penticton board. Another passion of mine has been the financial industry which I entered in the 80’s. After working with a firm for 15 years, my entrepreneurial spirit took me traveling and working in places like Korea, Hong Kong, for 20 years and eventually to Ontario where I helped open the first casino in Canada before returning home to the Okanagan. Wanting to return to my roots, I joined Springleaf back in 2021 where I work closely with Shane and Bert to ensure our clients receive the best possible experience. It’s rare to find a company that cares as much about their clients as Springleaf does and I look forward to brightening your day the next time you call in.
