I am an outdoor person. I always have been. If I was not outside riding my bike or playing sports, I was making forts in the trees or glue from yew berries for crafts. As far back as I can remember, I was always outside in the fresh air. My parents struggled to get me to come indoors to go to bed, most nights preferring to sleep in the the canvas tent that was perpetually popped up in the backyard. I used to help my parents in the flower and vegetable gardens, reaping the rewards of our labor mostly in secret. As I got older, I continued to garden, working in greenhouses and nurseries, as well as landscaping all four properties we owned. I even held a position here in Nova Scotia, as the Retail Operations Manager for the province's largest nursery. I will also confess I have an obsession with indoor plants.

I love kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. I love to camp. I love cooking in nature, bird watching or even something as simple as listening to the waves roll in. For me there is nothing like a good campfire and stargazing. Back in Ontario, I co owned a kayak shop where I could use my skillset while enjoying life outside. I was in my happy place . My background however was being a Certified Athletic Therapist for 23 years, enjoying work both on the field and in clinic.

I am super creative. I have always been a hands on person. I love nothing more then to have an idea and see it come to fruition. There is something so gratifying about that. From photography, to arranging flowers, from interior design, to retail merchandising, I have done a little of everything in between. One of my favorite things was building custom artisan farmhouse tables. I made many family gatherings a better place to be.
