I am a bit of an adventurer…leaving my home of Nova Scotia for Montreal with a caravan of fellow art students after college and have just kept going! I’ve lived in eight countries on three continents, speak five languages, am a lover a dogs, hiking, and a dancer. Don’t let me sing where you can hear me.
