I grew up in a small town in Nova Scotia and then moved to Ottawa, Ontario when I was sixteen years old. I am the eldest of three and started working with children as soon as I was able to babysit. I graduated E.C.E with a focus on children with special needs in 2005 after travelling and working overseas in a variety of youth related settings. I have since then remained in Dawson City where I have worked with the families and youth in the community in many ways.
