CURRENT MISSION

Joie de Vivre

ABOUT ME

Living the good life in Winnipeg! I spent a year after high school learning German in Austria, backpacking and wwoof-ing around the rest of Europe and sleeping on many peoples couches. I am an avid fan of long bike and canoe trips. I have cycled from Vancouver to Calgary and from Ottawa to Nova-Scotia.

I am also passionate about theatre, dance, music and good tea. I have been involved with theater for as long as I can remember and love to dance and create music on the piano and ukulele whenever I can.

PHILOSOPHY

"Partir, c'est grandir, avancer, chercher et surtout vivre. C'est la vraie aventure, celle qui laisse des traces dans l'âme." - Mark Thiercelin
