. . . and I write on nights, weekends, and in the stolen liminal spaces we don't have names for. In my fiction, I try to explore difficult topics with a strong backbone of humour and hope. Recently, I've expanded to poetry and personal essays disguised as media analysis and social commentary.

 

Besides writing, I spend my free time reading, annoying my cat, and watching the same TV shows and movies over and over. I can quote the entirety of The Princess Bride, listen to too much 2000-era pop-punk to be considered cool, and am still not over the finale of Supernatural. (But let's keep that between us.) 

​

I'm the founder and organizer of the Ottawa Writer's Circle. Closed in July 2023, it grew to be one of the largest and most active writer's groups in Ottawa, ON. 

 

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Aviation and Business & Management Studies from the Canadian Aviation Institute at Georgian College and a Bachelor of Education in Adult Education from Brock University. I spent over a decade in the aviation industry and now work in the federal government, though I'm still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
