Shauna believes strongly in children and families and their ability to succeed. She is beloved by the families she works with.

Extras:

  • Shauna is the ‘queen of the portable office’. She can navigate a set of stairs carrying a purse, a huge bag, and a plastic bin full of paperwork with a Timmy’s cup balanced on top, still carry on a conversation and without missing a step.
  • Shauna is honest and tells it like it is. When she tells a family or a child, “you can do it”, they believe her.
  • Shauna is a down-to-earth Alberta farm girl. She lives on a farm, is a skilled home cook, and raises specialty chickens (some of which actually lay green eggs!). Despite her busy life, she is very involved in her local community – providing respite and other support to families in need.
