Which ’hood are you in?
Mount Pleasant! It lives up to its name. A beautiful community in NW Calgary steps away from Confederation Park, as well as awesome local restaurants like 4th Spot and Velvet Cafe.
What do you do?
I’m the Director of Communication & Community Relations at the Calgary Catholic School District. I’m also a freelance writer and poet.
What are you currently working on?
I just finished my latest article for Birthing Magazine. The theme for the Winter 2023 issue is “The Art of Birth” so I interviewed a local newborn/maternity photographer that I’ve worked with.
