About Me | Some background: I've lived in southeastern Ontario since January of 1997, but I was first introduced to Canada while at the University of Evansville, when I spent my summers marching with a Canadian drum and bugle corps from 1978 to 1980.

My role expanded over the years to include proofreading, editing and photography. For five years, I also edited a monthly newsletter for the Brockville Women's Network and wrote the group's monthly news releases.
