I graduated from Humber College Funeral Services Education and qualified for my Funeral Directors license in 1988. I worked in Toronto until 1994 when I married and relocated to a small town where funeral director positions were few and far between. I was introduced to Primerica in 2003 and attended an open house. The information I heard that night resonated within me. I needed to learn about money so I could help people like myself who needed this information. I passed my LLQP and was life licensed in 2004. That I was able to really help people financially through education was the best feeling in the world. In 2008 I was diagnosed with PTSD and was unable to cope working with new clients, so took a job in manufacturing. I first learned of the CEA program when I had a capsule course for my funeral service continuing education in 2021. Again; the knowledge I learned during that 2 hours resonated within me. I needed to learn this. I am finally comfortable with my abilities to rejoin the service industry and feel being a CEA is certainly a step in the right direction
