Want to get to know me a bit more? I’m flattered.

Here’s a little more about who I am and what I do when I’m not knee-deep in someone else’s fascinating words.

Picture
Me in my attic office.

I’m a morning person.

I grew up in Aylmer, Quebec, Canada, and later moved to Toronto. After 6 years in that fast-paced city, I moved to Kitchener, Ontario—and the slower pace of life here seriously suits me!

Now, I’m woken up by birdsong instead of traffic. And even though I get to choose my own hours as a freelance editor, I live my best life as a morning person who gets to her desk at 5 a.m.
​

​​My living room turns into a gym every day at 9 a.m.

I grew up doing competitive gymnastics! Currently, my fave activities include resistance training (especially with kettlebells), my yoga/meditation practice, and long walks and bike rides.


I love the arts, from abstract painting, to reading horror novels, to dabbling in art journaling. 

I secretly always wanted to be an abstract painter! And as of 2021, I actually started trying it out. I love dabbling across art forms. Currently, I’m focusing on art journaling and collage (I’ve also kept a journal of some kind since I was 12). And I do it all at my art desk. It's on the opposite side of the attic from my editing work station.

I also have a Bachelor’s degree in humanities (because I can never choose one thing) and a Master’s degree in philosophy. My thesis was a phenomenological inquiry into the embodiment of yoga and ballet.

Commonplace Blog
my creative blog

This is where I write about my creative process, post about my art, and whatever other random topics I get into (as a multipotentialite, I can't help it!).
