Managed various aspects of the Minister’s office, policy development and constituency relationship and liaison. An abiding interest in rural Alberta developed early. Mentors who have influenced my working life and more were from these formative years. The experience gained and the relationships developed continue to support, mold and drive my passion for everything Alberta. My greatest learnings and years of service in the Legislature were with Hon. Connie Osterman Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs and Minister of Social Services & Community Health. She was an amazing leader with whom to work and brought real meaning to values, beliefs, representation, commitment, grass roots and responsibility in politics. I gained immense respect for staff in the Ministries for their commitment, loyalty and never-quit attitudes. These experiences shaped my work principles later in the public service. Staff in Social Services are truly amazing and very committed people. Show less

Served as research and communication support for 7 M.L.A.'s while also supporting caucus committees and broader work with Executive Assistants, legislature officials and sometimes, the public. I wanted to work in the Alberta Legislature to observe, learn and experience the leadership of Peter Lougheed after hearing him speak in person at Queen's and during my studies at University. His Government, his leadership and his integrity are examples for all and the best example of how to lead people, lead a political party, a Government and creatively initiate and drive economic development. A phenomenal start to working in politics, learning the 'system', leadership, policy development, political communication and developing relationships. It all started here with 6 research colleagues and a wonderfully diverse group rural and urban of elected officials with many different backgrounds! Show less
