Growing up on the beautiful west coast of British Columbia in the areas of Mission, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, White Rock, Vancouver and finally settling in sunny South Surrey/White Rock, has afforded me a breadth of knowledge in many of the Lower Mainland's wonderfully diverse communities.
Having the opportunity to travel abroad after University, I was fortunate to witness the beauty of other countries and cultures, but the draw of the ocean and mountains of the Pacific North West (and my mom) always called me home.
