With Cantos since   2007
What I Do   I help Cantos seek and receive funds from caring and responsible people, corporations and foundation to ensure that our programs remain strong, successful and relevant.
What I Bring   I am a Certified Fund Raising Executive, and have been helping organizations raise funds for their mission for nearly 15 years.
My favourite thing about working at Cantos   The people are all great. But I must say, the energy of the children who occupy our spaces every day is exceptional. Each brings excitement and a sense of wellness to our work.
My favourite item in the collection   I love the Kimball Organ. Not just because of the power and emotion it evokes, but because I was able to play it with my son. He jumped and then just had to play some notes for himself.
Random fact about me   I remember one of my first trips to Calgary in 1988 for the National Music Finals. I try to forget our disastrous performance - but I remember the beautiful city.
