An Island girl born and raised, Heather headed east to Ontario for just long enough to complete a Masters degree in Environmental Studies and realize that she is truly a West Coast girl at heart. Back home where she belongs, Heather is happily enjoying the milder climate and Island lifestyle.

Formerly part of the management team at BC SPCA Wild ARC, Heather serves on the Board of Directors for the Wildlife Rehabilitators’ Network of BC and joined the ELVH team in 2021 to lend communication and engagement support. 

When not snuggling the patients or making paws-itively purr-fect puns on Elk Lake’s social media channels, Heather can likely be found practicing yoga, playing music, or exploring our beautiful coastal rainforest.
