There have been many highlights during Rebecca’s career, but the friendships she’s made along the way make the top of the list. Additionally, the first time she had success with a newborn blood collection was a moment she is proud of. The events at Cariboo Memorial Hospital that she’s attended have also been a high point.

Before her career in health care, Rebecca was a hairdresser for 15 years. In her youth, her father was a helicopter pilot, so her family moved around a lot, including to Alberta, B.C., the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.

When not at work, you can find Rebecca renovating her living spaces, camping or fishing. Travelling is a passion and she’s currently planning her next big trip to Ireland. Rebecca also loves participating in obstacle racing like Tough Mudder and Mudderella.

Little-known fact? Rebecca has always had a fascination with plastic surgery. “It’s not for everyone, but I really like it.”
