About me

I am a native of Newfoundland, and left the province when I was 19. Although not a published writer, my job does entail extensive writing skills on a daily basis.

I have a big family, most of whom are scattered across Canada and the United States, and I hope to one day be able to write about their lives, how similar they all were when they were growing up, and how different they are now, as everyone has grown up and moved on.

My hobbies include writing, reading anything by Nicholas Sparks, sewing, scrapbooking, and just being with the people she loves.
