Board of Directors

I have extensive leadership experience in national and global unions, multi-stakeholder industry organizations, pension and benefit plans, and charitable organizations. I recently completed a six-year term as a member of the Capilano University Board of Governors, where I served as Board Chair, and I am currently serving on the City of North Vancouver Library Board. I have been playing tennis for five years, playing at the Tennis Centre and outdoor courts across the North Shore. I am also a member of STANS – the Seniors Tennis Association of the North Shore.

I immigrated to West Vancouver from London, England in 2014 following a career as a corporate lawyer and mergers and acquisitions advisor. Currently I assist various local companies with their growth plans and have served as a Trustee of the West Vancouver Library and a Director of the West Vancouver Library Foundation. In my spare time I sell safaris and similar exotic experiences for Sikeleli Travel & Adventures (https://sikelelitravel.com/).

I worked for several years as a General Manager in the manufacturing industry, and am currently working as a Business Consultant and Project Manager helping businesses through technology selection and transformations. I have been playing tennis for several years and regularly play at the North Vancouver Tennis Centre and outdoor courts across the North Shore, as well as playing in several competitive tournaments throughout the summer.

I started playing tennis at the Capilano Winter Club, played at the North Shore Winter Club and most recently with STANS. I have enjoyed a long career in West Vancouver working with adolescents, both as a teacher and as a counsellor. I served as a member and chair of the North Shore Youth and Family Court Committee who were responsible for opening the North Shore Youth Safe House and for hosting the Annual Provincial Youth and Family Court Conference. Since retiring, I have been a volunteer with the North Shore Multicultural Society, the STANS Board and now on the North Shore Tennis Society.

My name is Kristin and I’m a lifelong resident of the North Shore, currently residing in the McCartney Park area. I started playing tennis at the North Vancouver Tennis Center about 5 years ago and fell in love with the sport. As a Nutrition and Fitness coach, I am busy running my online coaching business, as well as fulfilling my part-time role at Hollyburn Country Club as their Performance Nutrition Coach. I also have an extensive background in finance and tech from my previous career as the controller at Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club.

Hi. My name is Jodi. My family and I have been residents in Ambleside, West Vancouver for the past 17 years. About 9 years ago, I took tennis lessons on a whim via a West Vancouver Community Center adult lesson program. Those lessons sparked my love & passion for the sport. I have continued to pursue learning & playing tennis in our community ever since. I am an active member of the WV Tennis Club and current captain for one of our WV club ladies league teams. Tennis has given me a great connection to my community and the friends I have made on and off the court over the years.

I picked up tennis three years ago after wrapping up a 25-year chapter in competitive horseback riding—and I haven’t looked back since. My professional background is in aviation and workforce planning management, and I love to travel. One of my personal goals is to attend all four Grand Slams and the Masters 1000 series—next up is the US Open this August!

In my work life I’m a partner at Denman, a creative agency that works with non-profit and mission-driven organizations to build digital tools and interactive experiences that connect, inform, and inspire. I’m a lifelong tennis player, passionate about growing the game and bringing new players to the courts.
