I am the Interim Operational Program Manager at our Lethbridge Site 3 location with Fresh Start Recovery and have been connected to the organization since 2020. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) with a major in Psychology from the University of Lethbridge as well as a diploma in Professional Addiction Studies through McMaster University. I am a Canadian Certified Addictions Counsellor (CCAC) through the Canadian Addictions Counsellors Certification Federation (CACCF). I entered the field after seeing friends and family struggle with untreated addiction and mental health complications. Working in this field ignited my passion for helping those in need through advocacy, skill development, and psychoeducation to empower them in obtaining a life they want to see for themselves. In my free time I have developed a love for spending time outside playing golf with friends or going for hikes or bike rides with family and friends.
