For the past 8 years I have been the Premium Account Executive for the Calgary Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns my four most loved sports teams who are the Flames, Hitmen, Stamps and Roughnecks.
I am very passionate in my role as Special Olympic Coach for the Calgary Floor Hockey Team. We won gold at the 2015 Alberta Provincial Winter Games and went on to win Bronze at the 2016 National Special Olympics in Corner Brooks, Newfoundland. In 2016 I was honored to be named Calgary Special Olympic Female Coach of the Year and Alberta Special Olympic Coach of the Year.
Growing up with 4 brothers, there were no dance classes, just sports! I have absolutely no dance moves other than my signature “Sexy Schreiner Shoulder Shrug”. I only like being the centre of attention when it suits me. The Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off will be a nerve-wracking challenge. I am doing it for the kids and they will be my motivation to work hard over the next 5 months!

The Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off (SCDO) is a product of a community that cares deeply enough to step up every year and raise money for worthy causes in our city. The event brings together the professional dance community, business and community leaders and many talented volunteers to stage an amazing, sold out event, build awareness for the groups their supporting, and raise funds that are put to work making a real difference.
The Celebrity Dancers who volunteer their time, energy and fund raising skills are truly special people. In this series, we’ll get to know each of the them. Please go online and support their fundraising efforts.
This year all proceeds will go to benefit the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre and the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre. It’s about Red Deer coming together to Share the Magic!
