Early influences include Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson and Richard Scary. She attended a specialty program for broadcasting where she learned the art of editing video and audio to create short pieces and how to present herself in front of the camera. She earned a combined honours degree in Drama and Communication Studies at the University of Windsor. In Toronto, she worked with various production companies including Radke Films, Shaftesbury Films and most significantly as production and camera assist at YTV, where she also auditioned for work as a puppeteer and on-camera talent. This is when she created Willy and was soon inspired to create WIlly’s World of Adventure - a children’s television series to entertain and educate. At 33, after a time of devastating losses and recovery from heart surgery, she stepped away from television production, but continued to write and journal. When she bounced back, she landed a career as a Developmental Services Worker. She loves this work because the families and their children keep her inspired, reminding her that life is a gift. In late 2017, she co-authored stories and poems in Empowered Hearts - Courageous Writers Connected by Words, and also began writing Volume One of Willy’s World of Adventure, Sweet Treat.
