In February 2020 the world as we knew it changed with the arrival of the global pandemic (SARs CoV-2). With everyone in lockdown, writing became my safe haven. I got lost in the creative process allowing my stories to unfold into short, witty, lyrical poems. Eventually, this collection of poems gave birth to my very first book “Accidental Poetess”. 

I am the middle child and only girl of a family of five. Although I was born in Fort Erie, I was raised in the small picturesque northern town of Cochrane, Ontario, Canada. 

I currently reside in Peterborough, Ontario with my husband, spending spring through fall enjoying our place on Upper Buckhorn Lake in the beautiful Kawartha Lakes Region.

As a recent retiree my time is spent volunteering, writing poetry and exploring the world, creating memories, enjoying each new adventure while drawing inspiration from my collected experiences.
