Rosie is the Chair of the Civil Litigation (Okanagan) Section of the Canadian Bar Association of British Columbia. Any time Rosie has outside of the office is spent with her young daughter at the pool or the playground. Somehow, she also finds time to ski, paddle board, or defeat her friends at the latest board game she has added to her collection.
