About Me:

​

I grew up with a love of language and a love of learning.   In school, you'd find me in the drama club, the creative writing club, of course, and the library.

​

I went on to work in  special education, as an occupational therapist and consultant. 

​

Since 2013, I have told stories professionally,  in schools and daycares, libraries and cafes, churches and museums.

​

You may have heard me at:  

The Toronto Storytelling Festival , The Word on the Street, StoryFusion Cabaret and the Ottawa Storytellers’ “Signature Series”. 

 

I have  been interviewed on CBC radio and featured on Regent Park radio.

​

In 2020, I won  the Alice Kane Research Award for my work on the story of Jeannie Gilmour, a Toronto woman who died of a botched abortion in 1875.
