Interesting Facts
- I love to travel and have a hard time staying put on the weekends. If it’s not a vacation some where new, it’s a road trip some where near.
- I am a sucker for a good DIY project! I think besides my couch almost my entire house is furnished in up-cycled items.
- My dogs are basically my shadow, if I’m not at work they are probably by my side. The road trips I mentioned l? They probably came too.
Bio
I made the move from Saskatchewan to Calgary almost 3 years ago and love it. Growing up in both British Columbia and Saskatchewan, the middle ground felt like the perfect place to call home! I love meeting new people and prior to the switch to property management I worked as a retail manager for 7 years. As much as I loved it, I was ready for change and am very happy I chose property management.
