About Me

I grew up in Toronto, but moved to Montreal 15 years ago and have mostly been here since (except for a 3-year escape to Berlin).

I work on a few different nonprofit projects - social justice is something I care about a lot, though I promise it's not the only thing I care about!

I used to travel a *lot* - at first as student, and then while working as an ESL teacher, and after that while working for an international NGO. These days, I don't travel as much... so I'm excited to be back in Paris soon for the first time in many years :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was living in Berlin, I converted an old bicycle rickshaw into a mobile bar/cafe... and dressed up in drag with my friends to take it around the city. It was so fun!
