Personally I work full time as an oncology pharmacist at a local cancer centre. I am a mother of three and my husband and two sons also enjoy competitive bowling. I have been bowling for 23 years and have been a member of the Bowls Canada National Team since 2000. I have played for Canada in several NAC’s and in New Zealand, Scotland and South Africa. Some memorable moments include my first gold medal in 1997, a come from behind win, winning gold with my son at the mixed pairs championship, and my two bronze medals at the Atlantic Championships.  However, the friendships that I have made over the years are also treasured as the fraternity of bowls continues to grow.
