In October of 1989, I began my career in the classified department at the Capital News. I spent 17 years in the accounting department, where I worked my way up to group controller for the Interior with Lower Mainland Publishing and then West Partners Publishing. When Black Press Media purchased the Capital News in 2003, I integrated into the accounting department, working with the president on all the southern divisions. In 2006, I took on the position of publisher at the Vernon Morning Star. After four years there, I made my way back to Kelowna in September 2010 as Group Publisher of the Capital News, West K News, Lake Country Calendar, Salmon Arm Observer, Revelstoke Review, and our specialty publication Okanagan Food & Wine Trails.

Editor of the Salmon Arm Observer, Shuswap Market, and Eagle Valley News. I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to keep our readers informed and engaged

I recently moved to Salmon Arm in 2021 from Surrey. Ever since my arrival, I've fallen in love with the stunning beauty of the Shuswap region. I've been working with Black Press Media since 2015, starting at one of our sister papers in Surrey before transitioning to the Salmon Arm Observer. One of the things that I enjoy most about living here is the sense of community. I've been keeping myself busy by meeting new people and volunteering my time with Rotary.

I have lived in the Salmon Arm area most of my life. I love to spend time camping, exploring, and enjoying what the Shuswap has to offer with my husband, two children, and our dog, Annie. I started with the Observer in January 2022 and have fast become an important part of the daily operations, including managing the front desk, the Amazon depot, and circulation for the Salmon Arm Observer, Shuswap Market News, Eagle Valley News, Golden Star, and Revelstoke Review.
