Theresa is now retired, but was a lead and at one time manager for healthy community development with Northern Health’s population health team. She is passionate about the capacity of individuals, families, and communities across northern B.C. to be partners in health and wellness. As part of her own health and wellness plan, she has taken up running and, more recently, weight lifting. She is also a “new-bee” bee-keeper and a devoted new grandmother. Theresa is an avid historian, writer, and researcher who also holds an adjunct appointment at UNBC that allows her to pursue her other passionate love - teaching.
