How long have you lived in the area? I moved to Drumheller in June 2009.
Where are you originally from?Vancouver, my journey brought me here.
What do you like best about Drumheller?The people. On average, they go over and above to help out others. I’ve got dozen of stories of things people have done for me that would have been unheard of in the city, from taxi drivers to lawyers!
If you could change one thing about Drumheller what would it be?I’d build a Tim Horton’s.
What do you like about your job?The locals I get to know and getting to hear the tourists’ stories, it always amazes me how far they travel to come here!
What do you do in your spare time?Bingo and hiking.
What’s the most important decision you have ever made? To make choices in my life that were productive and made me happy, instead of living for other people’s happiness.
What would you like to achieve this year?Pay off all my bills!
What’s your favorite movie and why? I have so many favourites! But I have to say Grease, Dirty Dancing and Top Gun, they kind of shaped my childhood.
What’s on your playlist?I don’t have an iPod or an MP3 player. I really like a bit of everything, from country all the way to classic and back to house!
Has reading a book ever changed your life? If yes, which one?I read a lot and each book leaves something with me. The Notebook really got to me.
Any unusual habits?I eat my McDonald’s burgers plain with chicken nuggets and french fries all in the bun, I have been doing this since I was a kid!
If you could choose one super power, which would it be? To be the best person, wife and mother I could be.
If you found a $100 bill what would you do? If it couldn’t be returned then I would buy some hiking gear which is a new hobby of mine in the Badlands.
If you could retire tomorrow, what would you do?Travel.
If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a 10 year old kid, what advice would you give yourself? Smarten up and appreciate the people in your life!
Words to live by? Failure is not an option.
