I have four children, I’m a single mom and I’m raising my nephew as well. I am full time student, an entrepreneur, work part-time and volunteer as much as I can.

“I started to see my potential!”

We moved to Saskatchewan in May 2011 and my husband was working as a territory director. We were living our dream! But in November 2012, he was downsized and took work at a local lumber store.
