My children’s names are…
Aidan, Emery, Eve and Romee. My oldest is 15 yrs and my youngest 9 months.
The activity I love to do most with my family is…
Going on spontaneous little outdoor adventures. We don’t have itineraries and are often pulling off on the side of the road or taking detours to see what we can explore.
My favourite place in the world is…
With my family.
You will usually find me…
Behind a camera, squeezing my kids, making a mess in my kitchen, laughing with my partner.
My daily ritual is…
A cup of tea. A glass of wine.
I am where I am today because of…
My children and my partner. I am endlessly learning to be better and do better because of them.

Open minded, accepting, resilient

My favourite body part is…
All of it! There are many imperfections but I’ve learned to love my body and I am so grateful for all that it has done for me and continues to do for me.
My favourite snack is…
I am the biggest snacker but trying to do less of that. It’s chocolate for me. Must be dark.
I love listening to…
I love so many genres but you can often find us dancing to 90s hip hop in our house.
I am moved by…
Sustainable living, women’s rights, having integrity and compassion while living on this earth.
I am grateful for…
This life. We only have one and I’m on a journey to make it the best one.
