ABOUT ME
A calling to comfort hurting hearts
Author, Counselor and Speaker walking alongside survivors — toward hope, healing, and the One who heals.
MY STORY
From a tiny island to a life of words
I was born and raised on a tiny tropical island in the Caribbean, and
though I now call Canada home, that island still lives in everything I write. .
I completed my first historical novel at nineteen and never looked back. Since then I have founded magazines and newsletters, worked in journalism and public relations while earning my BA in Mass Communications, and carried a rare blend of natural creativity and professional discipline into all that I create.
However, at a young age I became obsessed with film and vowed to follow this dream to my grave. I have since written screenplays for features and documentaries — one of which was produced — and I ghostwrite both fiction and nonfiction for others with a story to tell.
For twenty years I have also counseled survivors of assault, trauma, and violence. One of the most humbling experiences was being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Read about my life changing experience and NDE in my book Bare Feet. You will find the links under 'Products". Explore my YouTube and Podcast interviews as well as my own Podcast "Confessions of a Trauma Survivor" on Spotify and Apple.
