I'm the Director, Community Knowledge with Community Foundations of Canada and the Sherpa for the Community Knowledge Exchange, a new partnership-driven initiative for sharing and building community knowledge. I also sit on the board of Imagine Canada and am the past-president of the Ten Oaks Project, a charitable organization that connects and engages children and youth from LGBTQ+ communities through activities and programs rooted in play. I hold an honours degree in English Literature from the University of Ottawa, where I studied Wuthering Heights on three separate occasions. For the record: I still haven’t read it in its entirety.

I live in the Outaouais with my family, including three children - and all of their hockey gear. When I'm not busy reading, writing or chasing after my runaway dog, you can find me on Twitter, borrowing a museum pass from the library, or wishing I was paddling a canoe on Lake Temagami.
