About Us

Hi there! My name is Franca Muraca and I am a notary public in and for the province of British Columbia. My ties to Kamloops run deep. I look forward to meeting you. Being of service and connecting with people are what I am most passionate about.

I was born and raised in Kamloops. I graduated from NorKam Secondary School in 1988 and enrolled at the University College of the Cariboo, now Thompson Rivers University. After completing a university transfer, I headed to UBC to complete my undergraduate degree with a double major in French and English. I then enrolled in Simon Fraser University’s Professional Development program and became a secondary teacher, a career that I enjoyed for more than 25 years. Eight years into my teaching career, I completed my first master’s degree, specializing in Administration and Curriculum. I have worked in several high schools in the district, been a member of the Kamloops Thompson Teacher’s Executive, led over 15 trips to Europe with my students, been a staff representative, and been chosen to represent my district at Harvard University. 

In December 2018 I graduated with my second master’s degree in Applied Law and was commissioned in June 2019 as a notary public. 

In 2005, I had my first daughter and a mere 18 months later, I had my second daughter. I am a busy working mom who understands striving for work/life balance. Let me help you do what you have to do, so you can get busy doing what you want to do! I love working with people. The work of a notary is both challenging and rewarding. I love what I do! The people I have the privilege of assisting and the constantly new and interesting challenges that come with the work of a BC Notary make this a rewarding and exciting career.
