According to my Junior Kindergarten teacher, I’ve been a storyteller since the days of knee socks and Velcro shoes. By the time I learned to write full sentences, there was no stopping my colourful tales (mostly because I was still writing in crayon back then). A couple decades (and far less Velcro) later, I’ve swapped the crayons for a trusty Macbook and am a bonifide freelance writer.

How did I get here? Well, in addition to a diploma in journalism from Sheridan College, I hold a BA in English Literature from the University of Waterloo. So not only am I qualified to write and edit, but I can read a book like no one’s business. I’m lucky—I’ve found a job that allows me to combine my skills with my passions, and I truly love what I do.

My topic specialties include all things lifestyle-related (beauty, wellness, food and parenting) and I also have a knack for profiles and human interest pieces. To date, my work has appeared in a number of Canadian publications, including Elevate Magazine, Salon Magazine, Dogs in Canada Magazine,  Canadian Family Magazine and Tribute Magazine. (In addition to writing, I offer a range of editorial services. Click here for more info.)

When I’m not writing, I can be found indulging in my shiny paper habit (magazines are just too awesome) and taking my computer nerdery to new levels while making good use of my HTML skills. I’m a full-time bookworm, a part-time rock star (thanks to Nintendo Wii) and a pop culture junkie. Now that you know about me, why not introduce yourself?
