I'm based out of Ottawa, ON. Unlike most people, who move to Ottawa for work or school, I'm actually from Ottawa. I hear that's rare.

I have a long history of graphic design and communications, as well as being really well-versed in Spansh, social issues, gardening and cooking. For my day job, I work as a marketing coach for women entrepreneurs, and a lot of that work is around SEO and branding. I guess you could say I'm kind of a marketing geek!

During the summer, I farm a quarter-acre of land with my partner, and we preserve much of the produce we grow (canning, pickling, freezing, etc.). In the winter, when it's too cold to farm, I tend to a few house plants and grow little seedlings for the spring!

When I'm not doing any of that, I'm probably volunteering. Or spending time with my cat, Abby. :)
