My mom is from Italy and my dad is from the States. I was born in Newfoundland and grew up in Halifax. We used to visit every summer when I was a kid. One of my sister's still lives there and I love visiting her in St. John's.

An English teacher who loves reading? Groundbreaking.

I have always been a bookworm. I loved going to the library as a kid. I stopped reading as much for fun in high school and university. Last year, I moved closer to a library and it helped my reading so much! So far, this year, I've read 190 books - which is bonkers - I have abandoned many other hobbies for this reading obsession.

I love reading a lot of different genres. One of my favourite things to read are twisted fairy tales or mythology retellings. I have a big collection of creepy folktales. Here are some of my favourites in different genres!

Dumplings are my favourite food. Any savoury dough is amazing, to be honest. I love a bao bun. I love a focaccia. Carbs are amazing.

Making playlists is one of my favourite things to do. I listen to a bunch of different genres. My favourites are power metal, folk, 70s rock, disco, and musicals.

I have always loved art and music. I used to draw a lot but I often got frustrated that the art didn't turn out like I had pictured in my head. Crafting, embroidery especially, has been so fun because it's a style of art that I absolutely love AND I find it completely relaxing.

We love to play board games, Magic, DnD, and Baldur's Gate together. We started building some pretty epic lego sets together. We build a huge lego lighthouse that is motorized AND lights up.

We used to have two grumpy old dogs. They were my spouse's childhood dogs. Their names were Snowball (the white one) and Stoker (the black one). Snowball was the smartest dog ever. I swear she was a human in a past life. She was also the cuddliest puppy and loved to be held like a baby. Stoker was as dumb as a brick, very sweet and very stupid. She lived until she was 18! I got tattoos of them when they died.

This is a portrait of my friend's childhood cat who died a couple years ago. He was the cutest cat - although highly erratic - he definitely lived up to the orange cat stereotype! He was allergic to the outside but loved to hang out in the grass and flowers when he snuck into the yard.

This is an Yggdrasil tapestry I made for my friend! It's based off Norse Mythology.

I mostly make a lot of scarves. I really want to learn crochet so I can make tiny adorable things!

I didn't know what I wanted to do when I went to university so I got an B.A. in English, biology, and Italian. At the end of my first degree I realized I loved teaching so I decided to go to the Mount!

The best musical of all time. So good. If you love Greek Mythology you need to listen to this musical. I have watched the crappiest bootlegs of this because there isn't a good recording. Also listen to the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera-Herrans.

I have always been obsessed with sci fi and fantasy. I also love a good period piece like Pride & Prejudice. Perhaps my favourite film series of all time is Fast & Furious. It is the best.

I have worked at both junior highs and high schools around HRCE. I love teaching junior high because the students are chaos and have so much energy. BFEC is my favourite school to teach at. I've mostly worked at the Bedford campus but was at the Dartmouth campus for one year too!
