Coming from a military background, it’s a rarity that I, along with my sister and brother were all born in the same place: Shelburne, Nova Scotia.  I was only two months old however when we moved to Ontario.  We spent almost ten years there in a couple different places and while there I can still remember my excitement of visiting Nova Scotia and seeing the ocean for the first time.  It was in my blood from that moment on and I can remember longing to see it again.  To this day, sitting beside the ocean, listening to the surf, smelling the salt air and surrounded by Nova Scotia’s amazing beauty is where I am most content.  I think my children can attest to my love of the ocean and most people get a laugh out of hearing their names, Noah, Ocean and Sailor. Yes…I stuck with a theme!

I truly love Shelburne County and as their new Tourism Coordinator I think I’ve got the best job in the world to be able to share my love and passion for my hometown with everyone else. You will meet a friendly face around every corner you turn here and there is always someone who is willing to help you out if needed, that says a lot about a place! There is so much history, culture and exquisite beauty here; I don’t know why anyone would ever want to leave!
