Statement of intent

I am a seasoned executive leader with experience as a Board member and executive reporting to the Board. My expertise in business transformation and human resources, and my Certified Director designation assist me in being a thoughtful, governance-focused Board member.

Through my company, Sandbar Coaching and Consulting, I provide governance consulting support to numerous member-driven organizations and understand the governance oversight and strategic responsibilities of high performing boards. I am a critical thinker with exceptional teamwork, leadership and relationship building skills. I have a passion for advocacy, governance, and activating exceptional cultures that support organizations to achieve their mission.

In addition to my professional experience, I am a born and raised Albertan and have been a credit union member for over 25 years. I am firmly committed to credit union values including financial health, member ownership, community giving and local investment.

My executive experience, formal board training and membership on several boards including the University of Alberta Board of Governors (Chair HR Committee), University of Alberta Senate, River Valley Alliance, and Fort Edmonton Park Management Company make me an ideal candidate for CFSCU’s board of directors.
