About Me

Currently am living in Moncton working for the legendary Canadian non-profit called Katimavik! I am taking a much needed vacation and have a layover in Toronto on the 20th of September which is why I look to the couches of the GTA.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about radical self expression through spoken word, music, nutrition, youth empowerment, sustainable living, yoga, the great outdoors, loving, and anything that involves learning something new (especially about other cultures and peoples). Talking about eco-villages and living off the grid gets me giddy! So does food. And pinball.

Professionally I am a project leader/youth mentor as well as a spoken word artist.
