Who I am

I'm so glad you're here.

​

Though I’ve been writing for many years, Memories of Me is the first time I’ve opened my poetry to the world. It’s a deeply personal collection that shares glimpses of my experiences from heartbreak, healing, and hard-won resilience : a journey I know many will recognize in their own lives.

​

In my everyday life, I’m a Clinical Nurse Specialist with a master’s degree in nursing, certified in gerontology, and also a health and nutrition coach. My career in healthcare has been devoted to nurturing others and holding space for people in their most vulnerable moments. That same care lives in my writing.

​

Originally from New Brunswick and now rooted in British Columbia, I’m a mother to a vibrant 5-year-old daughter who reminds me daily of what strength, curiosity, and joy look like. Life has shaped me in unexpected ways:  toxic relationships, the grief of multiple miscarriages, single parenting, but within each moment of loss I’ve also discovered something unshakable: the power of transformation.

​

Poetry became my quiet refuge, a place to tell the truth free of judgment. Each poem may also resonate with you different depending on your own unique experiences. Each poem in Memories of Me is a reflection of that process: of facing pain, finding purpose, and healing from within. I hope my words offer you connection, comfort, and maybe even the courage to explore your own story.

​

As a mother, nurse, and new author, I welcome you into this space with an open heart. Thank you for visiting. Whether you are here for inspiration, healing, or simply to explore, I truly hope my poetry meets you exactly where you are.
