About
My career in golf began in 1992 at The Briars Golf Club, followed by a position at Scarboro Golf and Country Club. In 1999, I joined the team at Maple Downs Golf & Country Club, working under Irv Lightstone. Three years later, I transitioned to competitive golf, playing on the Futures Tour and the Canadian Women's Tour. In 2003, I won a Canadian Women's Tour event, which earned me an exemption into the 2003 LPGA event at Point Grey in Vancouver. After four years of competitive play, I returned to Maple Downs, where I continue to work.
My passion lies in junior golf, and I have completed Level One and Level Two TPI Junior certification, along with the US KIDS certification. Now in my 23rd year (2024) at Maple Downs, I hold the position of Head Associate Professional and Tournament Director. My career highlights include winning the Ontario PGA Women's Championship, the Maple Downs Pro Am Championship, and a regional RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.
