It took me nearly 29 years, a university degree in phsyical anthrpology and moving across the country - twice - to figure out what it was that I wanted to be when I grew up. A journalist. And after only 6 months of my postgrad program at the University of King's College I have fallen in love with the profession, and Halifax.

I am a proud dog owner, and love all things antique. I go to grungy pubs with character, and 5 a.m. is my favourite time of day. I feel that a great cup of coffee can be just as good as a hug.

I also love to write the true stories people have to tell.
