Hello from Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada!
I am honored to, once again, be nominated to be the Canadian representative for the General Council. I was first introduced to Swedenborg as a young child, attending church in my grandparent’s basement in Winnipeg, Manitoba. My grandmother Helen’s faith was inspiring! I grew up attending Paulhaven Children’s Camp as a camper, every summer since I was 6, traveling with my Grandma by train, learning all about her life. When I aged out as a camper, I continued on as a counsellor, cook, and eventually director. I made many lifelong friends and strengthened my faith. I was both baptized and confirmed into the Swedenborgian faith at this wonderful place that is so dear to my heart. I have passed on my love of Paulhaven to my daughter!
I served for several years on the Paulhaven Camp Committee, as a provincial representative for the Western Canada Conference, and am honored to have served a two-year term as Western Canada Conference President and have learned so much.
I am now a member of The Church of the Holy City in Edmonton. I work in a grade 5 – 9 middle school as an Educational Assistant and teach Foods class. I have a passion for baking and have a small home baking business.
I live in Spruce Grove with my first responder husband, Shaun and my kids, Maegan, 23 and Logan, 19 and fur baby Skye. Maegan is an English major at the University of Alberta and wants to go into the publishing field and Logan is pursuing a career in the Canadian Armed Forces.
