Bio

Actor, Writer, wannabe Upcycler
🎭 🖊 🪑

Inuk (Eskimo) by birth, Nova Scotian (Bluenoser; Canadian) by experience. Making it work in CT. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Generally displaced and awkward, I’m really used to hearing, “Wow! I’ve never met one of you before!” and was once included as part of a walking tour for a visiting school trip. PRO TIP: Don’t do that.

Am often asked if that was me on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Suzie), to which I respond with a mix of excitement and despair,”I love that you weren’t sure! But, no; that wasn’t me.” 🎥 🎬

Chocolate, whiskey & sarcasm are my lifelines.
🍫 🥃 🤦🏻‍♀️

I make lampshades and write poetry.
Cryptocurrency curious, but clueless.

Lived on a boat with my husband and son for 11 years until our 11yo needed more space to stash his collectibles. We now have way too much grass to mow, but it sure is nice having the space to walk away from whoever is pissing me off! 😁👍🏼

I have not seen the world but I did see Tina Turner on her final world tour, and we shared a moment. I first saw her in 1985 and wore the t-shirt again in 2008. She is Everything.

Susan Aglukark’s ‘O Siem’ brings me to tears every single time. I repeat… Every. Single. Time.

Belonging nowhere, I yearn to go everywhere. 🌍

My tendency to focus on silver linings rather than dark clouds makes my more conservative friends/family a li’l angst-y. Suck it up...

“Being positive in a negative situation isn’t naive. It’s leadership.” 🌤

Was a Schitts Creek superfan before it was cool. Stevie, I get you.

Best wishes and warmest regards!
