About Me

I bring my first profession’s study of communication and cultural meaning as an American Sign Language Interpreter to the mindful art of holding space for the stories and compelling narratives of others. Over the last decade, I have worked and collaborated across radio, film and teleivision, digital media and essays using the medium of creative writing and narrative storytelling as my primary approach.
My work and interests are the stories within the story: culture, inherited damage, courage, the disempowered, and the things we have learned to keep quiet.

I am creative. For me, it's not just a practice; it's a study, and I deeply believe in the craft of creativity along with the art of processing each unique piece one comes across.

Art is made not because it has to be made but because it compels someone enough to make it. This is an act of vulnerability and courage that deserves time, space, and mindfulness to be processed and understood by each unique person who makes and takes in the making.

I am Bookish. Books are my first love. They are my earliest memories, my earliest companions, and my earliest joys. Through the craft of writing and story, I have been able to cope, learn, and grapple with some of life’s most difficult themes.

Through continuing the act of reading, I have found a continued awakening, awareness and openness to the world around me. 
Literacy is, by far, our world's most important skill for all of humanity.

I am a foodie, and I adore good food. I am moved by how culture, tastes, seasons, and texture all come together on a plate. I am so thankful that I live in a province of diverse cultures, tastes, and opportunities for the palate.
