A Little About Me
I am a National Magazine Award winning journalist, a chef and a debut memoirist. For more than a decade, I honed my editorial skills at Today’s Parent and Chatelaine magazines before packing up my knives and heading to culinary school. In the years following, I have focused almost exclusively on food writing, penning a chef column in the Globe and Mail, as well as regular features in publications such as Style Advisor, Report on Business and Best Health. On the corporate side, my clients have included Sobeys, where I was executive chef, as well as Unilever and RBC.
I was born in Edmonton and live in Toronto with Michael and our little dog, Bruno. Our three mostly-grown kids come and go. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction from King’s University. My upcoming memoir, How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love and Plenty, won the Dave Greber Award for social justice writing in 2022, and will be published by Appetite Random House in Canada, and Ballantine Random House in the US.
