About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Professionally avoid the suburban lifestyle

ABOUT ME

I relocated to Ottawa a few summers ago, to live closer to my boyfriend Ross who was finishing school. I went to University in Hamilton Ontario. I love exploring this new city, which has so much to offer. I spend as much time as I can with my dogs, which usually means lots of outdoor time (although I hate the really cold weather). I live for Ottawa summer- it's absolutely the best city to be in, it's so safe & clean. I am supposed to be a musician, but after an elbow injury, I am spending my time reconsidering some other creative outlets- mostly painting. Ross & I spend weekends wandering various parts of the city without plans....we just let our short attention spans guide us.
Ross is fantastic, he is funny/outgoing/creative/patient & best of all he is really laid back. He is the nicest guy, he loves playing tennis & running with our puppies.
