I am a freelance writer based in the beautiful city of Vancouver.
I have had a few jobs in my day. I have been a temp ("Of course, I love data entry!"), media monitor for the Canadian government, intern at an Inuit arts magazine, intern at an independent online publication, public relations consultant, copywriter for the Yellow pages website, activies coordinator at a resort in Mexico ("Beach volleyball anyone?"), retail salesperson, and ice cream scooper (my first job). I have also been a pretty terrible server in various restaurants (from the local family joint in Harrison, NY to the fine dining hotspot in Canada's capital city).
In between, I have written for various publications including the Tyee.ca, ION magazine, Core77.com and the Ottawa Xpress.
I do not believe that the course in Career and Personal Planning that I took in high school was all that useful. So I hope that my blog can be a good tool for people to find things they may like to try or pursue as careers.
Magazines of all kinds, writing, yoga, hot yoga (if I am feeling ambitious), hiking, running, politics, current affairs, performing arts.
