She has many years in management roles. She has experience as a Real Estate Agent, in domestic construction, and in a few entrepreneurship endeavors.

She has worked for the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly and was appointed to an elected provincial political party as Lead Researcher and analyst. During her term with the Legislative Assembly, researching government finance department records relating to the Motor Vehicle Act developed a case for the New Brunswick Government officials showing how the department could save 42 million dollars and allow one-time car registrations. Without this financial evidence, the remainder of Bill 18 would have been voted out. Instead, the financial savings forwarded that portion of the bill into a review. The other two parts (Front License Plate Removal) and (Car inspection changes) of the amendment passed and became law on January 21, 2020. She also worked for Opportunities New Brunswick Export team and the New Brunswick Provincial Justice and Public Safety as a Financial analyst.

“I am very excited to work with the first elected council for the Rural Community of Sunbury-York South. I bring many years of experience to the job, entrepreneurial spirit, and drive to create a fantastic community annexing and respecting all the communities that have been there for generations. My grandmother and father were both born in Rusagonis. And families from both sides have connections to the first plots of land ownership in these areas. I am so proud to have the opportunity to represent my heritage and everyone who lives in these wonderful communities”.
