I live in Lethbridge with my spouse and 5 of my 6 children. I run a marketing company<\/a>, specializing in writing and social media management. I have a bachelor\u2019s degree in drama and French. I grew up in Regina, but graduated from high school in Abbotsford. Started married life in Surrey, and we moved to Lethbridge in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran for a seat on city council in 2001<\/a>. There were 6 mayoral candidates and 35 councillor candidates, the largest slate in Lethbridge\u2019s history. I managed to garner just under 1,000 votes, despite being relatively unknown and having yet to have built out my social network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My writing experience includes 3 years as editor-in-chief with Lethbridge News and 3 years as a political correspondent with Elect Lethbridge<\/a>, both of which were citizen journalism projects. Since 2014, I\u2019ve been part of the curation and live tweeting team at YQL Vote<\/a>, a grassroots collective devoted to politics that affect Lethbridgians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been a guest speaker at both the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College in management and social work classes, discussing entrepreneurship, communication, and building community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
