I grew up on a cattle farm in Saskatchewan, and have lived in multiple provinces throughout Canada as well as throughout the States. I completed my undergraduate degree in North Dakota, where I was playing varsity volleyball until I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in addiction studies. I completed a Masters in Counselling Psychology and have worked in areas ranging from Child Protective Services, Long term and short-term treatment settings and inner-city work with Edmonton's most vulnerable.

I have two very needy pets, Margaret, a 95 pound cane corso/lab with debilitating anxiety and Toby, a rescue jack russell I brought home from Mexico. You can find me at home with them and playing heated games of scrabble with my husband on the weekends.
