Me + MY Many HATS.


​I wear many hats. I am a marketing and event management professional. I am a speaker, writer, and performer. I am a mental health advocate. 

I thrive on collaboration, delivering consistent brand messaging, creating and executing checklists that lead to successful projects and events, and being true to myself. I consider my strengths to be empathy, honesty and creativity.

​I am a connector of people and I pride myself on being real. I inspire and challenge others to rise to the occasion and I work tirelessly to make my community a more cohesive place. Using effective brainstorming and facilitation skills, I am able to creatively generate new ideas, approach challenges and produce positive results.

Marketing + Events.

Events are my thing. I love to take an event concept from start to finish and tackle everything in between. From the initial brainstorming phase – to finding creative promotional opportunities through marketing and social media strategies – to on-the-ground execution – I always come back to events because they are my passion.

I founded the Women's Social Network and Local Love Truro.

Speaker + Mental Health Advocate.

I am very open about my struggles with mental illness. I suffer from depression and anxiety. For the longest time, I wouldn't admit this. I would, instead, spend time inside my house and inside my head, focusing on my own personal 'weakness' that kept me from getting off the couch and living my potential. After reaching a place in my life where I could finally acknowledge that what I had was real - a real illness, not a real weakness - I decided to speak up.

In the process of coming to terms with the 'realness' of my mental illness, I started getting involved with events like Women & Wellness with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and sharing my story.

(Sometimes I forget this, but) I am enough. And so are you... 🖤
