Music
Hip hop has been a part of my life since childhood. Dance was my favourite activity growing up and I taught youth dance for several years while attending university. The arts scene in Halifax embraced me and inspired me to bring my creative writing to life with performance through rap. My husband and I met 20 years ago through music and have released 4 albums since 2007. Music has given us opportunities to perform in dynamic venues like CBC’s annual Share Central fundraising event and youth mentorship in universities, community organizations and programs.
With 15 years’ experience speaking at industry conferences and performing as recording artist “Kool Krys” at festivals and events, I’ve helped organizations stand out in their communities by building strong collaborations and meaningful partnerships.
Yoga
Routinely practicing yoga has centred me with peaceful moments to reenergize, realign and release. Each practice brings new challenging poses and pushes me as I feel delighted with progress.

Public Speaking
Over the years I have been invited to speak about various topics, including Ottawa’s ARTPRENEUR Conference held at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Ottawa, both as a Keynote Speaker on Digital Community Engagement and a panellist speaking about Alternative Sources for Funding on behalf of House of PainT Festival of Arts & Culture.
