About

I originally hail from Canada, where I grew up in a small city called Windsor--better known for geographical reasons as "South Detroit" from the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin.'" Although I never left Windsor on a "midnight train going anywhere," I did move for an education that felt similarly open-ended. That led me to places much bigger and busier than the one I came from, such as Toronto and New York. Having had my fill of city life, I then retreated to rural New England, where I now live with my husband and our three young boys. We recently added some cows and chickens to our numbers, with plans of expanding to bees, pigs, and sheep.

For a long time I was a competitive distance runner, and although I have since hung up my singlet and racing shoes, I still harbor a love for lonely trails and dusty country roads. When I'm not on my feet, I'm happily on my bike. I also like photographing whatever's around me. It used to be skyscrapers; these days, it's pastures. I dabble rather amateurishly in various other arts as well, but always prefer to enjoy others do it with greater mastery.
