I have just graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor's degree in Environment, Resources and Sustainability while taking creative writing courses for pleasure. I previously graduated from Conestoga College with a diploma in print journalism where I learned to pitch, create and edit news stories. I write adhering to Canadian Press style and enjoy reporting on many topics including (but not limited to): sustainability, human rights, health, food, art, animals and biographies. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, usually including elements of nature.
