Valley Lifestyle
Owner of Valley Lifestyle in the Turtle Bay Crossing. My family moved here when I was 12 back in 2000, and have worked in the Lake Country community since 2017. Having grown up in the Okanagan I knew that this was the area I wanted to continue my life and grow my future. I have a passion for the outdoors and all the amazing activities that are available in the Okanagan, especially what we have to offer here in Lake Country from water to wineries and mountain tops. I joined the chamber to be apart of the growth of our amazing community and to see where we are able to take Lake Country over the years.

Retired Insurance Professional
In Winnipeg MB I owned and operated a medium-sized general insurance agency for 23 years, specializing in homeowners, auto, and small business insurance coverages. I moved to Lake Country 8 years ago and continue to truly appreciate and enjoy all that the Okanagan has to offer. I have been involved with our local Chamber of Commerce for the past 5+ years. Firstly, as a volunteer, then as a Director at Large and most recently as the Treasurer. I feel fortunate to have been able to contribute my talents wherever needed to our Chamber’s numerous activities and projects over the years. A couple of my favorites are our Breakfast Club, our Business After Hours events and our yearly Visitors Guide. It’s given me the opportunity to meet and find out more about our local diverse business community.
I also find working with young people fun and invigorating. Over the past 6 years, I have presented/taught numerous Junior Achievement programs in our local schools and also have participated in several Grade 12 CAPSTONE student career-life development programs.
