Who am I?

My family has lived in this area for five generations. My great, great grandfather was one of the first mayors of Victoria and my grandfather was a well respected and well loved businessman. My father was a family doctor in Saanich for forty years. My mother taught in Saanich while raising our family on Christmas Hill. For the past 15 years, I have lived on Salt Spring Island, where I am raising two sons, Ronan 11 and Callum15, both of them avid soccer players. I am a founding director of TLC, The Land Conservancy.

For two decades, I have helped support myself and my family as a small business woman, operating a consulting business for environmental education and museum design. I have worked extensively in the print and electronic media, and I have taught at the University of Victoria for fifteen years.
