Some other things about me:
Photo by Michelle Tocher
As a modern renaissance woman, I've had a colorful and adventurous life, which has ranged from apprenticing as a diesel mechanic in the railways to working in the fields of social justice, journalism, the arts and creative entrepreneurship.
I've facilitated hundreds of creative arts workshops and classes across Canada, and internationally.
On the personal side, I've experienced both tragedy and wonder. Over two decades ago, I witnessed the murder of my partner in an armed robbery.
I've often faced difficult financial circumstances and came dangerously close to bankruptcy. Out of these hard times, I developed resiliency and a greater understanding and compassion for others.
My life has been blessed in ways too many to recite here, the biggest being the miracle of giving birth to my first and only child right before I turned 46.
