About me

What do I love most about my job? Helping people regain control of their debt and witnessing the fulfilment helping others brings to our team.

Over the past 30 years, I've worked in both corporate and consumer insolvency. In 2007, I received my CIRP designation and was appointed a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. Since then, I’ve focused on providing Albertans with viable options for resolving their financial difficulties.

Additionally, I'm a member of the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP) and have served on the Board of Directors for the Alberta Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (AAIRP).

I’m also passionate about bringing awareness to the importance of financial literacy. Over the last 10 years, I’ve been a regular commentator on Global News Morning Edmonton’s “Money Smarts” segment, which you can watch on the last Monday of every month.

When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking with my dog, Einstein, and strength training at the gym.

How Freida has helped:

It was the BEST decision I could have made!

Absolutely great company. I recently did a consumer proposal, and it was the BEST decision I could have made for myself and my family. It's hard for families these days, and debt shouldn't bring you down! Give these guys a call if you're struggling as well!

I am so thankful for Grant Thornton.

I had worked hard to establish myself in life, and in less than one year, I lost everything except my house. I couldn't do anything to get myself out of where I had landed. In 2017, I spoke to the people at Grant Thornton and they showed me a better way to fix my situation than a second bankruptcy. They helped me file and get through a Consumer Proposal, and they never once looked down at me, or treated me like I was a deadbeat. They understood that life can change in the blink of an eye, and they helped me get through every step of the process and complete everything. I have been cleared for over a year now and have fully restored my credit rating and re-established my credit. I have done this in a much better way than I used to, and I am so thankful for Grant Thornton.

They really did save my life!

I didn’t think I had a way out. A friend told me about Grant Thornton so I booked a consult, with pretty much no hope anything could be done to “save” me. Well, to my surprise, they said they could help! After a very nice phone consultation I actually had answers and real HOPE! Now it’s not even two weeks later and my consumer proposal has been filed. I can once again breathe!! They really did save my life.

I can see the light!

We are so grateful with Grant Thornton for providing us with professional guidance throughout this tough process. I would highly recommend this company to people like us, under huge stress due to financial problems. I can see the light once more!

Very comfortable and professional.

I was nervous and ashamed when I first contacted them regarding a consumer proposal because it was embarrassing for me. The whole process from first consultation to the end was very comfortable and professional. They made me feel like a regular person the whole time and explained to me the process. Definitely recommend to anybody.
