About Me
I am an avid knitter, tea drinker and former dancer living in the High Park area of Toronto. I love lists, spreadsheets and creating something from scratch.
I have over fifteen years experience working in general and arts administration, particularly in the world of dance. This is where I found my love of helping the seed of an idea grow and flourish into motion –literally.
I had to figure out early on how to build a career creatively and that has also informed how I approach supporting others. I have chronic illness that limits my ability to work in a conventional way, but this has led me to to forge a different path and work with wonderful people along the way.
If you have a longstanding physical or mental limitation yourself, and have an idea that you want to try out, I welcome you to connect with me!
My degrees are in Arts and Cultural Management and in dance, and I continue to take professional development courses to expand my skills and keep up to date.
I would love to hear from you!
