A maple-syrup-running-through-my-veins proud Canadian, I am a native of beautiful Vancouver. I am the cream half of a coffee-and-cream couple, mom to three children and various pets. I don’t exercise enough, and eat fewer leafy greens than I should. I tend to be easily frustrated by technology. I love music and dance, champagne and chocolate. When I have half a chance, I like to relax by reading and digging in the dirt. I am passionate about issues affecting women in the world.
