She was workforce adjusted in 1998 and moved to the Airforce Base in Greenwood, NS. After re-establishing herself and her family, she got involved in her union local and held many roles from Secretary, Treasurer, Shop Steward, Chief Shop Steward and finally President for the past 12 years.

She held a seat on the PSAC Atlantic Council for three terms and was elected the Alternate REVP for those terms.
