I read everything - books, blogs, historical plaques, cereal boxes. I knit a lot, primarily lace and shawls and lace shawls, usually while watching more TV than I care to admit. I like cats, craft beer, sunny porches, parks, podcasts, pretty swirly flurries of snow, piles of blankets, absurd numbers of pillows, and coasting downhill on a quiet street with the wind in my face. I'm passionate about feminism, food systems, sustainability and self-care. I'm a jack of all trades, master of few - I know a little bit about a lot of things and would probably find a lot of the rest interesting. I am, at heart, a complete goofball, but it might take getting to know you over a few beers for that to come out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dropped out of graduate school to become a pastry cook.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach knitting and baking! I am really good at knitting lace, and I particularly like to make pies, tarts, and cookies.

I would love to learn new recipes, different crafts, and anything you're willing to teach.

And you know what else? I'd really like to go fishing. I haven't been fishing in a few years and it's been even longer since I actually caught something. If you can help me achieve my dream of catching, cleaning, cooking, and consuming my own fish, you'll go in my hall of fame.

Share your favourite parts of your city - restaurants, parks, beers, routes, museums, architecture....

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make sure your pub quiz team kicks butt with my encyclopedic knowledge of almost everything.

I can clean your house, help in your garden or farm, amuse your pets, and make enough sweets to give you diabetes.
