Career Story

I went directly from high school into the workforce. This was a common path when I graduated (1983), unlike today. I started a job at a long term care home, with my current company in 1988 in the role of receptionist. I realized very quickly that I would like to start a career in this sector.

I expressed my interest in continuing to grow and develop, and had the good fortune of being part of a very supportive organization. I have held roles with increasing responsibility in my 33 years with Revera. These include:

  • Receptionist
  • Office Manager
  • Environmental Services Manager
  • Executive Director
  • Operations Support Director
  • Regional Director
  • Vice President, Operations (current)

In addition to change in positions, I have also pursued education opportunities since starting with my organization. These include:

  • HR certification (Conestoga College)
  • Administrator certification (Canadian Healthcare Association)
  • Gerontology Degree (Ryerson University)
