I live in Burquitlam Co-operative Housing Association, located in Coquitlam.

I have worked for Woodwards department store, in customer service, and for BC TEL / TELUS in Sales and Customer Service, retire from TELUS in 2015.

For the last 35 years I have served on the BOD on and off. I have served as President, Vice President, and Treasurer, at different times.

Before being a member of BCHA, I lived briefly at Hoy Creek Housing Co Op. I have seen the difference between different styles of management.

I have learned so much by dealing with different levels governments and different agencies. We, the BOD members of BCHA have relied on CHF  BC for advice, very often. I really appreciated it. I feel that being part of the BOD of CHF BC is a small way of “paying back”, and also to gain more knowledge.

I like being involved and helping where I can. That is the real spirit of Co Operation.
