What’s your favourite DIALOG project?
The Royal Alberta Museum has been the largest project I’ve worked on to date. There was such a large range of space types and requirements for each area. It was like working on multiple buildings in one!
What do you do to treat yourself?
My husband and I love travelling the world and seeing new places and cultures.
Where’s your happy place?
In the mountains, any time of the year. I love being outdoors, whether it’s hiking, snowboarding or sitting by the fire and reading a book. I always look around in awe.
What I love most about DIALOG is the people I work with. It's amazing to be surrounded by a large group who genuinely want to make a difference and are passionate about what they do. I also love the variety of projects I get to be involved with.
