Education & Training
BA Honors English (U of A)
MA Publishing (SFU)
preceded by 10 + years of magazine, newspaper and book publishing experience followed by 20 + years of online publishing experience and more to come.
My first online publishing experience began in 1997. At the beginning of my last year of studies at the University of Alberta, I was hired by a professor to convert his Romanticism textbook to an online version. I continued to work with him on the Orando Project funded by a SSHRC and other similar projects (e.g. Women Writers of the British Isles).
With the help of these publishing projects, I supported myself while working towards a Master of Publishing degree at SFU and working part-time for Chapters in Vancouver. I was then, and still am, passionate about publishing, especially online.

My favourite author
Michael Ondaatje
Why?
At the end of my final term at the U of A, I wrote a 17 page paper on Michael Ondaatje that was published by the Comparative Canadian Literature Journal, after I read every book he had written up to that time, including his numerous books of poetry.

WHY?
At the end of my final term at the University of Alberta, I wrote a 17 page paper on Michael Ondaatje that was published by the Canadian Review of Canadian Literature, after I read every book he had written up to that time, including his numerous books of poetry. Up until then, I was struggling to understand the concept of post-modern literature. It wasn’t until I read Ondaatje’s Coming Through Slaughter that I truly understood the concept, at least from my point of view. It was like a light came on in my brain, a light I rekindle with every book of his I read.
