A little bit about Me.

I live just north of Toronto with my husband and 2 young children. I got here in a roundabout way—I was born in Argentina and grew up in England from the age of 3. Before moving to Toronto in 2017 I lived in New York City for 10 years.

My husband and I love to travel and our departure from New York seemed like the perfect time to drag our kids (aged 1 and 3 at the time) on a tour of the world. Our 18-month journey started with a month in Costa Rica and concluded with a circuit of the Southern hemisphere that took in Peru, Uruguay, Chile, Easter Island, New Zealand and Australia.

These days I love spending time with my family in Georgian Bay—often hunting for bugs (iNaturalist is my favorite app) or swimming in the lake. I’ve rediscovered skiing and I’m nurturing a quiet ambition to surf on Lake Ontario, though only in the summer!
