Bio

I am a communications student at MacEwan University in Edmonton. While I am not pursuing my studies, I am a part-time worker and a fervent volunteer in Edmonton's Art and Culture sector ( i.e. Metro Theatre, the Fringe festival ). Writing is my life's passion whether it be working on research papers or writing short stories in my free time.
