Bio
Sarah Greenberg, CAIP
It was always a pleasant experience working with Grace. She is smart and efficient and helpful and she cares about what she does. I'd love to work with her again and I'd gladly hire her onto my team if she wanted to work in research.
Sandy Janzen
For starters, Grace is an efficient, reliable and knowledgeable colleague. Any policy that the National Board I was on came up with, Grace would find a way to implement it. Since we are a not-for-profit we are always watching the bottom line, so Grace had to be inventive and was able to come up with creative solutions not only on a limited budget, but with limited staff. Everyone loved working with her - the volunteer Directors, general membership, advertisers - everyone. Although we kept her busy, she was always approachable and made time for anything we needed. Grace laid out the structure of the website we still use today. She organized the original educational program for our, back then, 30-50 annual courses with dates, venues, instructors, online registration, printed course booklets and advertisements. Grace help produce our monthly magazine - from organizing the advertisers, getting it designed printed, distributed, to managing its sale and subscribers. She also produced our membership and corporate directories, as well as having designed the databases. She attended all of our Board meetings, most of our many committee meetings and organized every one of our AGMs. There's more but it's too much to list. Grace was definitely an excellent project manager.

Full time actress didn't seem a right fit for me at the time as I wanted to complete my schooling and get my degree. Did some tv and movie work as a student along with my regular part time job.
