What do you really enjoy about your role here at Prairie Centre?
I love being part of a team that continues to help our communities grow and thrive.
How do you like to spend your spare time?
You can typically find me either in a rink chasing my daughter, on a golf course, or in a meeting as I'm involved in multiple community groups. It's highly likely that you'll also find me in a bunny hug.

What is your favorite thing about life on the prairies?
When my family moved to Rosetown in 2009 the plan was for our time here to be another quick stop before moving on to 'bigger and better things'. We quickly fell in love with the lifestyle that rural Saskatchewan has to offer. I feel living outside of the busy cities gives us more time to focus on the important things in life like family and friendships.

What is your favorite thing about life on the prairies?
I love the sunrises and sunsets - no matter the season they are always spectacular and living on a farm allows us to take advantage of them.

What is your favorite thing about life on the prairies?
My favorite thing about life on the prairies is that it just feels like home. Small town Saskatchewan is what I know, and I can't think of a better place to live with my family.
