Daphne also works as an SLP with the Halifax Regional Center for Education. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her three grown children, whether it's sharing a meal, catching up on life, or simply enjoying each other's company. Daphne also enjoys staying active, often going for runs or long walks with her two dogs, who are always eager for outdoor adventures. For moments of relaxation, she can be found with a good book, soaking in quiet time and indulging in her joy of reading.
