About Me

I am a storyteller with a knack for crafting stories that surprise and delight. My favourite stories are personal tales that nonetheless speak to a universal human experience. I’ve honed my skills in collaborative and high pressure environments, including national newsrooms and a marketing production agency.

You can find me playing volleyball with friends or walking the seawall with my dog.

I live in Vancouver, Canada.
