About me

I’m a writer, poet, bibliophile, and phytomaniac with a penchant for heritage buildings and their paranormal tenants. I left my hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to complete my Bachelor of Arts in English and Certificate in Public Relations at the University of Regina. Since then, I’ve completed a Certificate in Entertainment Law from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University and am currently working on a Certificate in Publishing through Toronto Metropolitan University.

My poetry has previously been published and shared in untethered magazine, Blank Spaces, [SPACE], Figroot Press, and The League of Canadian Poets’ Poetry Pause. I now reside on Treaty Four Territory in oskana kâ-asastêki (Regina, Saskatchewan) with my family, rescue cats, Horsfield tortoise, and collection of houseplants, where I am writing my first novel.
