    • About Me

      I've just finished my 2nd yr of my RN degree. I would like to become street nurse. My father, who died in '08, had schizophrenia. He spent most of his life moving around, living in shelters. So in his memory, helping others is where my passions lie. I work as a Community Facilitator supporting individuals who are living with the effects of brain injuries. I am a lesbian. Oh, and I can't forget I live with my roommate Matty, my loving golden retriever.

    • Interests

      I love trying new things. I like everything from the video games on the Wii to playing pool, tennis, reading, walking my dog, checking out new places to dine, movies and going out to the theater. I love coffee and more coffee (gotta be Tim Horton's though:) and finally, yes you heard it from me first, mini putt:) I like the batting cages, air hockey and Pac Man too. I like spending time relaxing, chatting with friends and BBQ's.
