About me

About me
I’m a content marketer, ad geek, and UBC alum with a passion for storytelling and consumer behaviour. I’m also incredibly passionate about traveling, having been to over 20 countries in the last few years. You can find me curled up with a good book or exploring new places in my city.

Why Vancouver
I love Vancouver because of how diverse and beautiful the landscape and people are. I was born and raised here, so it’s home for me, but more than that it’s full of amazing food, sights, and fun things to do. There aren’t many places in the world where you can ski, hike, and run on the beach in the same day and within 30 min of downtown.
