INTRODUCTION I bring qualities often desired but not teachable such as maturity, professionalism and sensibility. I am energetic, decisive, confident, and teachable with a sincere desire to learn. I am an excellent self starter, committed to Albertans, and invasive weed management. I enjoy being known as someone who has answers to questions and solves problems. I look forward to contributing to Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, my experience in weed identification and management, regulatory investigation and compliance, policy writing and interpreting, project planning and managing, public service and teaching. My passion is empowering others through appreciative inquiry with knowledge and tools to aid them in their weed control programs.
