Nancy is a lifelong, passionate advocate for public education and served as a CBE school board trustee from 1999-2007 for Wards 11 and 13. She volunteered as a Board Governor of EducationMatters from 2008-2021.


Nancy is excited and honoured to serve and strengthen our public school system with a focus on student success. This is a pivotal time in the history of public education. Ensuring every child in our city goes to an excellent public school is the foundation of our community’s success.


As a strong advocate, effective leader, and community connector, Nancy enjoys working alongside her colleagues and is currently serving as the Board’s vice chair. Her board commitments over the last term have included chairing both the Governance and Agenda Planning Committees. She is also the Board’s representative with Zone 5 colleagues for the Alberta School Boards Association and is CBE’s representative on the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association Board.


Prior to being reelected in October 2021, Nancy worked in Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s office as community relations coordinator leading files related to education, civic engagement, mental health and addiction, homelessness and poverty.


Nancy and her husband Rob have three adult children who are all proud CBE graduates. Their granddaughter attends her local neighbourhood elementary CBE school.
