She is a practicing poet in the Ottawa community and her background is as a writer, editor, trainer, and manager in the private high technology sector. Her doctoral research looked at child authorship as a praxis of Reconciliation. Other interests include: The One Room School-House Effect, Embodied Cognition, Critical Discourse Analysis, Posthumanism, Literary Theory, and Poetry as Social Construction. She is also passionate about having Canada's First Nations acknowledged as the first of three founding nations and disappointed that this did not happen by July 1, 2017 in time for the Canada's 150th settler anniversary celebrations.
