Hi. I grew up in the heart of Toronto, Canada, and was exposed to a multitude of cultures and cultural endeavours from an early age.  I have since worked, lived and studied throughout the world. Along the way, I've picked up German, French and Spanish, and can do a good dabble in Italian and Portuguese if required. 

I received a Bachelor of Arts with Honours from McGill University and a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King's College.

I have spent much time in the wilderness - as a treeplanter for many seasons in northern British Columbia, as a canoe guide in northern Ontario, fly-fishing throughout Patagonia and whitewater rafting in the Yukon and Alaska. I'm a keen and committed explorer of wild landscapes and a hunter for solitude. 

For 15 years, I have been based between Patagonia, Argentina and the Rocky Mountains at Canmore, Alberta.  

Now, I'm also the mother of an optimistic broccoli-loving four-year-old daughter who I'm hoping will soon emerge from the 'princess stage'.
