I have been connected to Fresh Start Recovery since January of 2012 and have been in long-term recovery since 2005. I am currently serving as the Director of Programs at Fresh Start Recovery and am a Canadian Certified Addiction Counselor and Canadian Clinical Supervisor Addiction Counsellor (CCAC, CCS-AC, CCTACP and RCA) through the Canadian Addiction Counselors Certification Federation (CACCF). Throughout my tenure, I have worked in various roles within the organization, and I am excited to continue supporting the Fresh Start movement across Alberta and beyond. I am passionate about abstinence-based recovery, particularly 12-step recovery and the Alberta model of Recovery-Based Systems of Care. In my new role, I look forward to fostering community partnerships that support not only the staff and clients I work with but everyone seeking recovery in our community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and coaching lacrosse.
