Life in General
Tell us about your background. Where are you originally from?
I am originally from Kamloops, and I moved here to Vernon with my family when I was six. I’ve moved away several times but always ended up coming back; it feels like home and there’s no place more beautiful.

I have many passions: good food, wine, and gardening are a few of my favourites. My daughter motivates me to try to be a better person every day.

My late father. He was patient, kind, wise, and he had a strong ethical compass that I seek to follow.
How do you incorporate Health and Wellness into your life?
I stay away from processed foods and sugar as much as possible, meditate often, and spend time outdoors and in nature when possible.
