little known facts

Doing good work for "Them" can only come about when you make the time to experience the world in every way possible. These are the things outside of the world of advertising that inspire me to make more innovative interactive advertising.

random, but important

I am a certified Yoga Instructor
Yes, I'm flexible. One full year of training including philosopy, anatomy and teaching experience left me with a piece of paper, amazing friends, a solid home practice, and the ability to turn myself upside down on my head!

Je suis un cours de français
Tout ma vie, j'ai souhaité parler le français couramment. Donc, je lis les livres français, j'ecoute les chansons français, je ne vois que les films français, et je bois beaucoup du vin!

I am a dual citizen
I am both a Canadian and British citizen, meaning I can live and work anywhere in Canada and the European Union, for as long as I want. I know, I'm a lucky girl. Thanks Dad!

I love to travel
I have invested most of my free time and money into exploring this amazing world. From the tip of South America to a remote town in northern Canada, from the west coast to the east coast of North America, from Bath to Granada, and many places in between, I still feel like I have only just begun.

I write
I have spent most of my life painting, printmaking, sculpting, and drawing. Yet, I find more satisfaction and personal expression through writing. Although I am a novice when it comes to writing professionally, the years of art history papers, writing for the university school newspaper, countless journal entries, and incessant documentation of my life has helped me hone my writing abilities. And one day I will do something about it.

I'm known for...
Cute sneezes. A loud laugh. Sometimes being bossy. Loving JD Salinger (and Peter Carey and David Sedaris). Loving short stories. Wearing vintage dresses. Giving financial advice. Trying to do too much. Being extremely organized and overly ambitious. Always having Plan B (and maybe C). Eating healthy. An advocat of organic produce. A dancing queen. A wine (glass) snob. A foodie. An art history geek. Being obsessed with everything French.
