Grew up in Wainwright Alberta where I’ve always had a passion for mechanics but at that time wasn’t sure of which type of mechanics. I decided to dip into the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technology (AME) program at SAIT.
Upon completion of the program I worked as an apprentice with Bar XH for 1 year where I worked mostly on King Air’s. I continued 2 more years of my apprenticeship with Rangeland Helicopters, and upon completion started working on Single Engine Aircrafts which led me to my current position as Production Manager with Rangeland Helicopters.
I have a strong passion for the aviation world and want to continue gaining knowledge and experience for many years.

Lisa’s passion for the EMS world has been evident since she was 18 years old when she started her career as a medic. Having grown up on farms and demonstrated skill in operating equipment, she aspired to become a helicopter pilot. She obtained her commercial helicopter pilot licence when she was 26 years old and subsequently got her first pilot job in Kelowna BC. She started her career as a co-pilot on a Super Puma; this position took her all over Canada gaining experience in different facets of the helicopter industry including fighting forest fires and setting power line towers.
Now Lisa fulfills a role in the EMS world by working as a first officer for Rangeland Helicopters Inc in support of the HALO Air Ambulance program. Lisa’s career goal of combining EMS and aviation is off to a great start after completing a multi engine endorsement for the BK117 and Night Vision Goggle training; additionally she is currently working on an IFR rating. In the meantime, she continues her part time studies as an online student studying for a Bachelors Degree in Aviation with Liberty University.
Lisa was born and raised on a farm in Germany when, at 14 years old, her family immigrated to Canada to farm in Alberta. She now resides in Medicine Hat with her horse Pablo. She extensively volunteered and travelled to 5 different continents over the years. In her free time, you will find her working as a casual medic, riding her horse, challenging herself at cross-fit, hitting up the slopes skiing, visiting friends or on her motorcycle. She loves the outdoors and spends every bit of her free time there.

Words could never be enough, and you will be deeply missed. Congratulations on an exceptional career! Enjoy your retirement Grant.
