I have my Bachelors Degree in Marketing and a diploma in Design.  My passion is seeing people use their talents and interests to make a positive impact in this world.  I have used mine to make a difference in my life and the lives of others.  THIS is exciting to me.  

​

• I was the Director of Marketing & Fund Development for two non-profit organizations helping women rebuild their lives and helping children with learning disabilities.  

​

• I helped to establish the Home Economic department in a school for children with disabilities, The Third Academy, in Calgary, Alberta.  I taught these children how to sew.  We made millennium quilts for the Children's Hospital in Calgary, Alberta.  The children felt so capable and proud--and they had every reason to!  

​

• I have been on television, written for newspapers and magazines, held workshops and had my artwork displayed throughout galleries in Vancouver.  

​

• I have established an organization which unites knitters with hospitals and other organizations to help their clients or patients.   If you are interested in participating, contact me! (www.HaberdashCouture.com) &  (www.HCKids.weebly.com) .  

​

• I have, with my sisters, been manufacturing down-filled baby sleepsacks, to help babies sleep safely.  Bisous Baby Sleepsacks are sold in various countries throughout the world.  In fact, our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was gifted one from his friend, when his children were born! In addition, our sleepsack was chosen as one of the items to be included in the Hollywood Actresses Mother's Day gift baskets.  Recipents included Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner and Salma Hyack.  What an honour!

​

• I am the Co-President of the Cariboo Heights Forest Preservation Society.  Our goal is for the City of Burnaby to designate this precious 200 acre forest as a Permanent Non-Development Zone.  (Currently, it is on the books for a 100 acre eradication!) If you are interested in helping to save this forest, sign our petition--log onto our Facebook Page: Burnaby's Secret Forest.

​

• I am a Co-Blockwatch Captain for my neighbourhood in Burnaby and take great pleasure in helping to keep our families safe and in helping to create a close-knit group with whom all neighbours can all rely on.  

​

• As a passionate Community Builder, helping to organize events to create a strong, supportive community is super exciting to me! Together with my colleagues Gloria Cooper and Geoff Jarman, and by collaborating with the businesses at Crest Plaza, on the border of Burnaby and New Westminster, BC, we organize and host several fun community wide family events throughout the year.  These celebratory events offer community members an opportunity to meet, have some good ole' family fun and raise food & funds for our local Food Bank.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to join in on the fun!

My friends, colleagues and contacts cover a wide range of backgrounds and specialties.  I treat my clients the way I would with my closest circle of friends--with utmost care and access to all my contacts.  When you work with me, you work with ALL my contacts.
