She has worked in the BC Public Service for over ten years, focusing predominantly on the provision of quality health services to seniors and adults with complex care needs. For the last fifteen years, Kendal has volunteered for Special Olympics Victoria, most recently as the Local Coordinator. Kendal lost one of the most important people in her life to Lupus.
