Like most writers and editors, I’ve loved reading since before I can remember. I also love the mechanics of language. I find the rules of grammar reassuring rather than daunting, and I’m fascinated by linguistics.

I was raised in Calgary, Alberta, and now live in London, Ontario. I’ve worked as a teacher, in the library system, and in the nonprofit industry – through it all, writing and editing have always been my greatest passions.

My debut picture book, Was It a Cat I Saw? (Amicus Ink) was released in March 2024 and is available wherever books are sold. My second picture book, When the Air Sang (Annick Press) is available for preorder now!

Outside the literary sphere, my hobbies include travelling, board games, and going on imaginative adventures with my young kids. I’ll never say no to a trivia game: I love Trivial Pursuit, and I’ve auditioned for Jeopardy! three times (no luck yet, though!).
