about-me

I'm a quirky Canadian-American who's always ready for the next adventure. I always return my shopping carts to the cart corral, I fold gum wrappers into origami cranes, and I polish my nerd badge daily. I am passionate about helping others find and celebrate the things in life that bring them joy.
