Professional Background
Career Development Practitioner

I began my Social Work career as a Child & Youth Care Worker with Kamloops Youth Resources. I worked in group homes and in the supervised access program. I went on to work with the Ministry of Children and Family Development as a Child Protection worker, having the opportunity to work with families in Kamloops, Quesnel, Williams Lakje, Bella Coola and Merritt, BC. I worked in a few different units, from adoption and guardianship to family services.

After being laid off in 2003, I was thrilled with the opportunity to work in the career development field with the Kamloops Work Search Centresas a Client Assistance Officer and then as a Case Manager. I am now with Thompson Rivers University Career Education Department,working in many capacities, from one-on-one career coaching to workshop facilitation and website development.

I received my certification in Career Development in 2009 from the Career Management Association of BC.
