Born in the UK and raised in the Caribbean, I grew up with my nose in a book and a love of learning that led me to the University of Toronto, where I earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in science.
Then life yelled “Plot twist!” and I traded the cloistered halls of academia for the hustle of corporate life. There, I took on roles that ranged from facilities and project management to sales, marketing, and business development in the IT and financial services sectors.
The common thread throughout? The power of good communication.
During my corporate adventures, I honed my writing and editing skills, tackling everything from proposals and presentations to marketing copy and press releases. When I eventually left the corporate world to raise my children, it wasn’t long before I was writing and editing for friends, family, neighbours—even the local school…and WoodvineWrites was born.
As a writer and editor with a diverse career background, I understand the unique complexities of corporate, tech, and academic communication.
My writing has been featured in science forums like the Plantae Community; I am a social media writer and science editor for Peridot Scientific Communications/Plant Editors and interim managing editor and regular contributor at Digits & Threads, the member-supported Canadian fibre and textile arts magazine. I have edited technical manuals, scientific papers, corporate communications, memoirs, novels, and short stories. I can make your story shine!
My goal is to understand your needs and work with you to craft the perfect solution for your project!
I’m a proud member of Editors Canada, Sisters in Crime, and the Toronto Romance Writers, where I continue to expand my skills through professional development courses and workshops.
When I’m not wordsmithing for others, you’ll find me working on my YA sci-fi trilogy, making music, being crafty, enjoying a good story, or—my favourite—goofing around with my kids.
