I live in British Columbia, Canada, with my husband. I have five adult children. I’m an educator, writer, and artist.  I’ve spent my life teaching, learning, and walking alongside others. I have a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Religious Education, and I’ve taught in Canada and China.

Over the years, I’ve led children’s and youth ministry, counselled at camps and church programs, managed tours across Canada, and served as a short-term missionary in Haiti, Uganda, Belize, China, Thailand, New York City, Mexico, Greece, and Eastern Europe. I’ve also trained as a chaplain and done disaster relief work with Samaritan’s Purse.

​

Through it all, I’ve learned that people are at the heart of everything—hearing their stories, sharing experiences, and finding ways to offer hope and encouragement. I love creating—through art, writing, or simply connecting with someone in conversation—and I hope that by sharing a bit of my journey, we can find common ground, inspiration, or just a friendly chat.
