Living the Writing Life

Experienced, Well-Rounded & DEDICATED

My unique skillset combines a career of creative & technical excellence. Publication & performance, literary editing & project management, education, courseware design & subject matter expert facilitation are just a few of my strengths.

As a female entrepreneur & ally, I write & edit for nonprofits & businesses, assist poets, writers & youth in elevating their craft for publication with honest but skilled feedback to help diverse writers hone their voices.

I believe writing builds better communities.

I am proud to partner with the Miramichi Literacy Council & NB Women’s Correctional Centre (WCC), where I offer a six-week poetry course each year in the spring and fall. In September 2024, we are proud to announce the publication of “We The Women” a yearly chapbook publishing poetry from the WCC.

I regularly collaborate with the Arab Culture Club & other organizations within my community.

I live & work, create & collaborate within Mi’kma’ki, the traditional unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. I acknowledge & honour all our vital voices.
