I’m a proud mom of two daughters, and have been a high school teacher for 14 years. I’m Canadian, and home is in a small city just east of Vancouver, British Columbia. When I have time, I love reading, spending time outside, travelling and finding new shows to binge. 

Growing up, I was always involved in sports soccer, swimming, field hockey, and curling. Curling (yes, very Canadian!) quickly became my passion, and I competed at a high level throughout my junior years and into adulthood. Through sport, I learned invaluable lessons about patience, determination, resilience, and drive. Lessons that I later learned extend far beyond competition.
