Unlike Dave, Marie and her three siblings did not live in the same house for 18 years.  She was born while her parents lived in Abbotsford.  To which she promptly moved to Spences Bridge.  From there she moved to Clinton, Fort Nelson, Trail and then Revelstoke.  All of which are in BC.  She attended 4 elementary schools and 2 high schools. 

While living in these many different parts of BC, Marie has traveled all over BC, Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories as well as the prairies where her extended family resides.

She left Revelstoke to attend Simon Fraser University, where she got a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. 

Marie currently works at ALS Environmental as a Team Leader/Chemist testing all sorts of samples for trace metals.
