Six years ago, I found my life’s purpose in writing, and it has consumed me ever since. My current projects include a short story collection about breakups and a memoir about being childfree. I also recently (accidentally) started a novel featuring a seagull named Rigby. I write it all: fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. 

​

I'm serious about, and dedicated to, my craft. In 2021, I won the Rita Joe Poetry Prize, and in 2022 I was shortlisted for the Budge Wilson Short Fiction Prize. I've since received grants from the Copyright Access Foundation, and Arts Nova Scotia to hone my writing further. 

​

In my spare time, I love growing the local writing community. I am an active member of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia, and the Writers Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador. I am also a founding member of the Tufts Cove Writers Collective and an organizer and host of Dart Speak--a monthly writers' open mic. 

​

I live happily in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with my husband and two dogs, enjoying all the free time a life without children allows, reading, writing, cycling, and skiing.
