My Family

Family is everything to me. At the centre of it all is Chris, my rock and my best friend ,we’ve built a life together that’s busy, loud, and full of love. Our son Jack keeps us constantly on the go with hockey (if there’s ice, we’re probably there), and my beautiful bonus daughters — Isabella, Grace, and Abi ,have filled our lives with laughter, chaos, and the kind of joy that only big blended families can bring. Then there’s Shadow, our dog ,loyal, spoiled, and totally loved. And because I don’t believe in quiet houses, we also open our home to our billet boys from the Niagara IceDogs. They’ve become like extended family ,we cheer for them, feed them like our own, and celebrate every win, on and off the ice. Our house is rarely calm, but it’s full of heart … and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fun Fact

I’m not just in real estate — I’m in the people business. Every deal, every conversation, every partnership is built on connection and trust. I care about relationships that last longer than a transaction. I’m passionate about Niagara — its people, its small businesses, its energy. I believe community is built through collaboration, and that the best ideas come when passionate people sit around the same table and dream a little bigger together. My life is a mix of family, hockey rinks, and hustle , and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Between cheering for my son Jack, and our billet boys — I’ve learned that teamwork, patience, and heart are the foundation of everything good. I’m driven by impact — it’s not just the name of my company; it’s the heartbeat behind it. Whether it’s mentoring new agents, supporting local entrepreneurs, or giving back through Hotel Dieu Shaver or the IceDogs, I want to leave people and places better than I found them. And above all — I believe in authenticity. Real conversations. Real people. Real change. Culture Collab is my kind of space — where passion meets purpose, and where community grows stronger because we show up as ourselves.
