About me

I’ve been a freelance writer for the past two decades, and an editor for the last decade. You can see my work here. I started my writing career in science writing, and have now moved on to creative nonfiction and memoir. My first book is a science memoir.

I am trained as a scientist and held a tenured position in environmental science before leaving academia. I’m a member of the Federation of BC Writers, the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment, the National Association of Science Writers, and the Writers’ Union of Canada. I am also a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. 

“Write every day. Don’t ever stop. If you are unpublished, enjoy the act of writing—and if you are published, keep enjoying the act of writing. Don’t become self-satisfied, don’t stop moving ahead, growing, making it new. The stakes are high. Why else would we write?”
