I've always been a word girl.

 

I fell in love with reading at a very early age, and I've been lucky enough to make a living out of working with words. 

​

I got my official start in the sales department at the late, great Altitude Publishing in the Canadian Rockies. I later published two books for Altitude.

 

For several years, I promoted tourism in my beautiful adopted home town of Canmore, both through my job managing the local destination marketing organization and as a freelance writer. 

 

During three years in the marketing department at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, I honed my writing, editing, and project management skills as an integral part of the development team. Together we raised millions of dollars to enable artists to attend Banff Centre programs. 

​

Nowadays, as a freelance writer and editor, I get to learn about amazing destinations, collaborate with super-cool, creative people, and contribute to incredible stories.  

 

When I'm not writing or editing, I spend my days reading (obviously), exploring the amazing Comox Valley and all around Vancouver Island, learning to play guitar, gardening, and travelling and hanging out with my family.
