My passion in helping others especially children is what drives me in my 20-year career in childcare. After moving to Regina, SK over 25 years ago and diving into different careers such as banking, investments, and customer service I decided to take classes and get my Early Childhood Diploma.  This led to a lucrative childcare business that expanded from a simple home daycare to several extensions that expanded my business to serve over 200 families and a staff of 20. In 2019,  I move back to Edmonton with my daughter to be closer to family and continued my career in childcare as the Executive Director of St Albert Childcare Society. In 2022 I took some personal time to travel and expand my knowledge in childcare.  Over the next 2 years I consulted for many daycares and preschool program helping them to advance their programs and understanding of child development and childcare.

In my spare time I love hiking in the mountains, baking and watching Netflix with my daughter. I currently volunteer for the Youth Justice and am a member of several childcare organizations. I am excited about my new adventure in the gymnastics world and look forward to what this new chapter hold.

Emma grew up in Edmonton and has been living in Sherwood Park since 2010. She started recreational gymnastics with Salto at the age of three and trained until 2021. Since then, she has been coaching recreational gymnastics with Salto. Along with gymnastics, Emma also did 13 years of competitive dance and has been skiing all her life. Salto has been home for Emma for over a decade and she hopes to create an environment where her students can thrive and have fun in gymnastics.
