Program Manager, Pope Mountain Arts

What can I say - I love art! I like to look at it, make it, and help others enjoy it.

I moved to “Fort” in August 2020 when pandemic restrictions made meeting new people extremely challenging. Fortunately, I discovered Pope Mountain Arts and began making connections in this amazing community.

Although I don’t have a formal art background, I am happiest when I can unleash my creative side. My artistic passions include writing, photography, and fiber arts, but I am always open to learning new ways to let my inner artist out.

I am so grateful to have an opportunity to live, work and play on the unceded ancestral lands of the Nak’azdli Whut’en and to be in a role where I can support the arts.


“Connecting with others through art, learning new skills, and sharing passions is such an important part to building community. This is why I joined the board of the Community Arts Council, to ensure that we have these opportunities in our community.”
