I am, first and foremost, a learner. I am fortunate to make my living reading and listening, and to write about what I learn. I have travelled widely, met people from all walks of life, and collected their stories. I am a memoirist, essayist, author and playwright. I believe that stories change the world. What is history, if not people’s stories of love, loss and triumph? We are more connected than ever before. How can we use our connections to better share our stories? My purpose is to use my skills to contribute to our shared history and knowledge.My novel titled 'Blue Suicide' was published by Iguana Books in 2015 and I have subsequently published essays in other Canadian venues. I work for getAbstract AG, a company dedicated to providing summaries of books on business, technology, climate change, biography, organizational development and the future of work, as well as literary fiction and history.
