A lifelong resident of Kitchener-Waterloo, I am a graduate of St. Mary’s High School and the University of Waterloo. I retired from the University of Waterloo in Fall 2023 after a long career in administration, and am now following my dream of being a full-time vacation consultant. I have had the privilege of travelling to many places on this wonderful planet: USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, France, England, Scotland, and of course, across Canada. One of my bucket list items is to visit each continent and every province and territory in Canada. Just 3 continents and 5 Canadian provinces/territories to go!
