Born and raised in Ontario, my parents emphasized the importance of education. I grew up with a love for reading, creative writing and the performing arts spending most of my high school years on stage playing piano. My love for helping people came to the forefront and I received a Bachelor of Social Work in 2002 from Ryerson University and a Masters of Social Work in 2005 from the University of Toronto. I am blessed with a large family who shower me with love and laughter. I live with the love of my life Tristan and of course, our mischievous cat, Molly.
