I was born and raised in Mahone Bay Nova-Scotia. As I was growing up my father provided home care for an older individual and I was able to help with the care in this role as well as make new bonds along the way.
I enjoy spending time with my family as well as hanging out by the ocean or really anywhere by the water. I have a puppy named paisley who loves accompanying me on those ocean visits.
