BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Hampstead, a suburb of London, England. I came to Canada with my parents and grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan. I'm a graduate of Central Collegiate and the University of Regina, where I received my BA in English. After living in Winnipeg and Moose Jaw, I eventually found my way to Vancouver, and graduated from the University of British Columbia with an MFA in Creative Writing. 

I've been a freelance writer for assorted newspapers and magazines, a temporary secretary in London, a travel agent and the Managing Editor of a literary magazine (Prism international).

I spent a few years working for TELUS in Burnaby, BC, as an in-house travel consultant, a word processing clerk, a contract management clerk and a tech writer, creating and editing student materials for TELUS Learning Services.

In 2003 I graduated from Vancouver Film School's full time program in Writing for Screen and TV.

Writing is my passion.
