Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, I’ve always held a deep appreciation for the beauty of the prairies and the genuine kindness of its people. Some of my fondest memories include long road trips across the province, especially visits to my grandparents’ farm in Balcarres—moments that instilled in me a strong sense of community and connection. Now, as a new member of the Community Foundation team, I’m excited to explore meaningful ways to support our communities, help them thrive, and bring people together. I believe it takes a community to thrive, and initiatives like SUMAInvest are key to building a brighter future for Saskatchewan. I can’t wait to see the impact it will have on our province.
