Overview
I have a strong passion for language, cultivated from a young age.
Having completed a B.A and an M.A in English, I am still just shy of completing my PhD.
I have been writing about music, literature and culture since 1996, contributing articles, reviews and travelogues to numerous publications. My first novel is a work in progress.
Previously assistant editor at a Montreal educational publishing house, I now freelance for various magazines, companies and organizations, editing various types of texts, including literary manuscripts.
Inspiring my work as a writer, editor and teacher is an enduring passion for language, culture and the arts.
I have lived at the crossroads of East and West, visiting as many countries as I can. I’ve experienced a diversity of sounds, scents, flavors and artistic forms of expression, all informing my consciousness and creative sensibilities.
When not engaged with words, images, sounds and ideas, I practice and teach Chinese external & internal martial arts (Kung Fu, Qi Gong and Tai Chi), as well as healing arts.
