Human You can read my bio about me as entrepreneur here. You can read my bio about me as poet here. As for the rest of me, I'll use this space for things like what old high school and university friends who haven't seen me in forever and find me would want to know. I moved out of Ottawa in 2000, immediately after graduating University (Bachelors of Computer Science, Software Stream, Co-op, Honours, yadayada). I lived in Vancouver for a year, doing website development (mostly Java) and Usability, which was my unofficial specialization in University. 2000 & 2001 was the start of the economic downturn, and the small web companies didn't fare so well, so when I had the opportunity to do User Centred Design at IBM in Toronto, I took it. Stayed in Toronto until 2007, although lived in the States for a spell in 2006. I had greatly disliked University, and was rather depressed at my IT jobs. I thought that the job at IBM might fix that, but it didn't. My depression only got worse. I spent some time working out what I would love to do instead, and quit IT to be a Life Coach, which I did for a few years. (See Entrepreneur section.) The Stop Smoking Coaching took me in exciting directions, including being in the media a lot. The last couple of years I took a break from work to do some traveling and find myself, I am now a Virtual Assistant for Life Coaches. I get to do what was my favourite part of running the business, all the behind the scenes stuff, and get paid for it! I'm also offering long-distance Reiki emotional & physical healings. I finally moved back to Vancouver in 2007 and am as happy as a clam here.
After University I discovered my great love for being on stages, performing my poetry. I've done it all over. If you have the opportunity, you should come check out a show!
