Hello! I live, learn, work, and play on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations in the Metro Vancouver area. I was born and raised in Delta, BC, and came back to Canada after teaching English abroad in Japan a few years ago. I recently changed positions as a result of being in the MET program, previously working in international education at the post secondary level, having now transitioned into a corporate training role in healthcare.
I enjoy being active in my spare time; playing hockey and golf when I can.
