According to the province, Curtis has designed, delivered, marketed and measured energy efficiency programs since 1991. Her career in energy efficiency began with Edmonton Power (currently EPCOR) and SaskPower.
She holds an MBA from Athabasca University (Alberta) and a Bachelor of Human Ecology from the University of Manitoba.
