I am an animal lover who lives on a small farm near Tulameen. I enjoy reading, studying nature, spending time with my dog Gyp, and computers. I am author of a book on edible plants of the Tulameen area; I have autism spectrum disorder and donated the proceeds from my book to the Canucks Autism Network. I enjoy my work assisting with cleaning and organization at Cascade Veterinary Clinic, but my favourite part is greeting and visiting with clients and helping with their heavy purchases.
