I was born in Scotland, immigrated with my family in 1967 to Edmonton and settled in Sherwood Park in 1971 with my parents and brother and sister, went to school here, married in Sherwood Park in 1985, and we raised our family here.  My husband Kent and I have two grown kids Courtney and Spencer, and we are new Grandparents to wee Charlie.  Kent is a Jr. High teacher in Sherwood Park, and I am currently a Financial Consultant with past experience in marketing, media sales and government relations consulting.
