About

A white woman wearing pink sunglasses and a black v-neck t-shirt. Her brown hair is up in a flipped over ponytail. She's taking a bite out of an ice cream cone, and has one hand on her hip.

Bio

My home is Edmonton, AB (amiskwaciwâskahikan), on Treaty 6 territory, where I share physical and emotional space with my spouse, two children, one belligerently affectionate tuxedo cat named Miss Bennet, and a sweet-tempered artistic greenbottle blue tarantula named Miss Dashwood. I have a bachelor’s degree in linguistics and I was an editor at an engineering firm for 15 years, focusing on engineering reports, business proposals, marketing material, and conference/journal papers. I get immense satisfaction out of clarifying other people’s writing, always trying to find the balance between the author’s message and the reader’s experience. 

I’m a life-long writer. Since my brain loves digging into strange and esoteric facets of living in this particular cosmos, my writing tends to surrealist poetry, though I’ve been known to dabble in strange little stories too. I appear to be writing an incredibly silly speculative fiction novel at the moment. I’m an associate member of the League of Canadian Poets and an active member of the Edmonton Stroll of Poets. I was an apprentice in the Writers’ Guild of Alberta Mentorship Program in 2022. Prairie Vixen Press is my self-publishing imprint.
