My Track Record
|
With my years in business and my first term as a municipal councillor nearly completed, I have proven skills to mediate all types of meetings and conferences, conversations with local government and truly listen and relate to you, the people who make our city what it is.
I possess an unmatched attention to detail and can learn and retain information very quickly. I have a strong connection to preserving our past, while creating an innovative future with a responsible financial outlook. In addition, I have the ability to observe peoples strengths to ensure that I can obtain the best possible qualities from everyone, to create a winning team! In short.... I really never stop learning. I do take every opportunity that comes my way to learn more, to execute my job better, every single day, for you. I have a welcoming and encouraging nature, a passionate spirit and a love for the City of Airdrie. I don't settle for less than the best and am a woman who can get the job done! |
