DEB
Office Manager / Treatment Coordinator
Deb graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1987. After a three year period in accounting, she regained her senses and began working for Duncan as Office Manager/Treatment coordinator. Deb ensures our office displays professionalism and service excellence in all areas.
“I love watching young individuals that are very shy, blossom into confident teenagers during treatment. The hardest part of the job is keeping Duncan from buying every new piece of computer software that crosses his desk. When at home in Canmore I enjoy the outdoors, running, cycling, and racing Duncan up every hill I can find!”
