A LITTLE ABOUT ME
In 2016 I followed a man to London, my handsome fiancé, my lover of ten years, to pursue the fairytale dream of happily ever after. He, I believed, was my Mr. Darcy. Spoiler alert, he wasn’t.
Before moving continents, I actually had a pretty exciting life. Starting my career with only the clothes I borrowed from my mother, I built a successful, celebrated, 25-year business as owner and Executive Producer of Imported Artists Film Co. We produced thousands of television commercials and longer format programming worldwide and won hundreds of awards, including Cannes Lions and a Gemini (Canada’s equivalent of the Emmy’s). I also had the great honour of opening the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) with my feature film, Genie Award-winning, Fugitive Pieces, adapted from the award-winning novel by Anne Michaels. I’m the recipient of the prestigious Women in Film and Television’s Crystal Award for Excellence in Production. #humblebrags. I am the proud mother of two daughters, Samantha, a fabulous young filmmaker and Charlotte, a model and social influencer who gets more views by brushing her eyebrows with a toothbrush than most BBC programming.
I have an incredible appetite for travel, life, and whatever makes me laugh, and I enjoy sharing my single girl insights as I explore all aspects of what makes life worth living. Because in the words of one of my favourite authors Dr Seuss, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
