I am a curious and friendly soul from Canada who enjoys wandering walks, tackling challenging feats of creative cooking (to varying degrees of delicious success), and quiet nights curled up with a favourite book and a very rotund cat. I love doing puzzles while listening to podcasts, live online barre workouts with a group of gloriously strong fellow women, going to museums with my best friends, and making food for the people I love. I read history, fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, memoir, humour, and on tough days, a heartwarming romance. I collect ceramics and illustrated books and prints.
