Member Since
September 2026
I was born Grenada, West Indies, and I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A former lawyer, I am a Toastmaster, an amateur football official and a huge sports fan. I love maps, travelling and history. I have degrees in Political Science, History and Law.
Ask me about
Maps! I can sit and study a map for hours. When I moved to Vancouver, I purchased a road atlas and would follow along as my sister drove around the Lower Mainland. I remember my family’s road trip across Canada and the U.S. back in the 1980s. I loved reading the map after Dad planned our route for the next day.
My super power is
I am generous, thoughtful and very helpful.
I'm looking for
A quiet spot by a brook to read a book.
What I love about experience design
Books! I travel to different places, learn about different cultures, and contemplate the world around me due to books. I love big books – Roots, War and Peace, A Suitable Boy – and small books – 84 Charing Cross Road, One Fat Summer and The Chrysalids.
Best piece of advice I've ever heard
Charlie Brown and his friends taught me to never give up, be courageous in love, and that I can be whatever I want to be.
Where I find Inspiration
In nature. Look for colour in trees, insects, flowers and the ocean.
