I grew up outdoors in the Great Lakes region of Canada before moving to the UK, so nature has always been a big part of my life. After Headington, that love led me to study how we relate to the world that we’re part of through my BA and MSc in Geography at UCL. After helping with the end-of-life care for my aunt, I followed my curiosity further—starting a community interest film company and participating in, as well as leading, international expeditions focused on environmental and social responsibility. In 2014, I moved back to Canada and began guiding people on, in and around the water through my business and non-profit, helping turn connection into protection of our shared home.

Personally, I continued to navigate my own experiences with caregiving, trauma, death and grief… which began to shift everything. My work now as a Life & Death Transition Guide - and my personal approach to being human - is simply about being a catalyst for care, calm and clarity wherever possible. I’m grateful to be immersed in nature surrounded by loved ones both near and far - living fully by my own definition and with my mortality in mind.
