Biography
Effective, purposeful, disciplined writing is my passion; while my freelance articles focus primarily on culinary experiences, behind those dishes I am a seasoned grant, proposal and business copywriter.* A creative thinker with more than two decades of experience in communications, I've worked in many sectors, public and private, for-profit and non-profit. I love creating connections and partnerships, working with organizations of any size, and I've been a remote worker for more than a decade. *As a part-time freelance writer my focus is often hospitality, arts and culture, culinary experiences, or people profiles, but I began as a small town journalist and now write a wide variety of articles, corporate communications, tech sheets, whitepapers, grant and fundraising proposals, reports, and general copy.

On top of a number of events, advancing polls for the upcoming federal election will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 18 to 21 and some familiar facilities in your area may be in use by Elections Canada.

If your shopping experiences have mostly ranged from big box to bargain outlets and online, you’ve probably missed out on a few iconic experiences. Full disclosure, I recently grabbed an HBC Stripes scarf online before all of the HBC Stripes merchandise was gone. I picked it up in person in Penticton where the staff was jovial, albeit somewhat downcast at the same time.
