As a mother of 3 boys ages 18, 28 and 33 I have been and am still actively involved in school councils, hockey associations and local community organizations. I am very proud to be a 5th generation Caradoc resident on my dad's side (Wilton).I love being out talking with the community members in rural and urban areas. Keeping apprised of issues and concerns is important and it only makes our community better when you keep the door open to council. Before Covid my spring was also busy with running Komoka 5on5 Hockey, we were always happy to bring families together for some fun local spring hockey. I also work one on one with undergraduate Western students that need help planning their academic future. Another one of my enjoyable jobs is being able to work daily at Caradoc North Public School which is my Alma mater. I am also very proud to have been involved for many years with the Strathroy and District Chamber of Commerce, it has grown in the last few years to become a very valuable asset to our community and businesses. My husband Brad and his family own and operate Strathroy Monuments which has been in business for over 65 years!! It is a 3rd generation run business and everyone in the family has lived and raised their families in Strathroy - Caradoc. Our whole family is actively involved in our community and we try to give back as much as possible as we are honored to be a part of such a great community of businesses and families.
