I worked as a web developer for the Canadian government for several years before leaving to run my own urban farming and food delivery business. I believe in the interconnectedness of all beings and strive to cultivate transparency and cooperation in life. I'm easy going and spontaneous and always looking for a bit of adventure. I love learning about other cultures, places, and history.
