CURRENT MISSION

To never decide to "be" one thing when I grow up.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally a farm girl from rural Alberta, but an interest in performing arts took me to Edmonton where I completed my BA(Honours) in Drama. I spent the next few years creating independent theatre and travelling. Since the fall of 2010 I have been in Europe working on my MA. I spent the first semester in Amsterdam and am now at the University of Warwick in the UK. I've luckily had a lot of opportunity to travel and have met a lot of awesome folks.
As for myself, I'm open-minded, very liberal and left-leaning. My path in life has not been linear, but I hope to continue to combine my passion for the arts with political, social, and cross-cultural practice.....but in a less pretentious way than that previous statement implies.

PHILOSOPHY

Open to adventure.
