I dreamed of being a journalist, but when I was fourteen, my uncle convinced me that my career was at my fingertips. "Why attempt something new when you have the gift of musical talent?" So I took his advice, and pursued a long career in music. I taught music seventeen-years overseas at American International Schools in China and India, traveled the world, and lived a fast, and exciting life.

Upon returning to Halifax in 2015, I continued with my first love, writing. I joined WFSN, took many writing courses and workshops, and worked with Cooper Lee Bombardier, a writing coach and mentor for one year while writing my memoir, Dancing with the Marigolds: My Twelve-Year Journey in India. 

From  2022-2024 , I wrote regular columns for various magazines in Nova Scotia; At Home on the North Shore, My Children, and Sea Nova Scotia. While writing these articles, I met many people, and was fortunate to learn heaps about my home province, Nova Scotia. 

My debut book, Dancing with the Marigolds: My Twelve-Year Journey in India will be out soon. Details to follow. 

I am currently working on a new novel, and a short story collection.  

I am an adventurer at heart. I feel energized when I am outdoors, hiking or walking. I have walked two Caminos in Spain and one from Halifax to Mahone Bay, and five days walking The P.E.I Island Walk. Walking frees my creativity, inspirations come easily on the trails.

My love for music has led me to another love, dance. In India, dancing and music filled my soul, especially dancing Bollywood, where limbs fly and emotions soar.
