My Writing Life

Writing has always been my outlet. In elementary school, I wrote screen plays and articles for the school newspaper. In junior high, I wrote poetry loaded with teenaged angst. In high school, I kept a journal and wrote letters to far away friends.

In University, I focused on academic writing. Seven years of that earned me a Masters Degree in Science. With bills to pay, I immediately went to work as a Genetic Counsellor where I spent ten years writing scientific articles, educational material, and “Dear Doctor” letters.

When I became a mom in 2006, I started writing fiction and nonfiction for kids. Now, I split my time between writing middle grade novels and science books.

My Home

I was born in Burlington, Ontario. Since then, I’ve had 21 different addresses in 11 cities and 3 provinces across Canada. I currently live in the mountains of British Columbia, where I’m planning to stay.
