Strong arts and creative professional with a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction from the University of King's College. Experienced writer and interdisciplinary artist with a demonstrated history working both in fundraising and commercially.Skilled in Creative Writing, Editing (Structural, Copy, Proofreading) Teaching, Content Creation, Floristry, Design, Gardening, Organizational Development, Development Writing, Blogging, Social Media, Communications, and Project Management. I predominantly write narrative nonfiction, essays and poetry. Themes include: identity, art, creativity, family, friendship, the natural world, memory, love and grief. I’m fascinated by the ineffable found in ordinary life, which often appears in art unexpectedly. Previously, I was the founder and creative director of an ecological design studio called A FINE MEDLEY. I used my work in floristry and the botanical arts to study our relationship to beauty, play, production and the natural world. I collaborated and farmed flowers in Southern Ontario, championing regenerative agricultural practices. My designs and interviews were published in Green Living Magazine, Flower House Detroit, The Hamilton Spectator, KOTN journal and elsewhere. Before this, I spent almost a decade working with nonprofits. I advocated for independent, emerging and marginalized artists through community organizing, content creation, partnerships, campaigns and workshops. I’m the recipient of a 2019 Hamilton Short Works Prize for literary nonfiction and I am in The Writers' Union of Canada. A 2020 prose piece on Lake Ontario was featured on the Unsalted Great Lakes podcast and my poem EMERG E was published in Wayzgoose 2022.
