I am a seasoned Family Law Clerk with 36 years of hands-on experience supporting lawyers and clients through all aspects of family law. Over the decades, I have developed extensive knowledge of legal procedures related to separation, divorce, child custody and access, spousal and child support, and property division.
Known for my thorough documentation skills, organizational efficiency, and client-focused approach, I have worked closely with legal teams to prepare court documents, manage case files, liaise with clients, and ensure compliance with court deadlines and procedures. I take pride in offering not just administrative support but also a calming, professional presence during emotionally challenging times for clients. My career reflects a commitment to excellence, integrity, and ongoing learning in a dynamic area of law.
I am also a Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS). As a CDS, I have specialized training in communication, conflict resolution, and understanding the emotional and psychological aspects of divorce which enhances my ability to support both clients and legal teams with sensitivity and professionalism.
I spent the greater part of my career working for the now Honourable Mr. Justice Jarvis and most recently I was the Head of Legal for a mid-sized Family Law Firm in Kawartha Lakes. Outside of the office, I enjoy travelling, reading and going on long walks with my dog.
