I'm a writer and physician from Regina, Saskatchewan (unceded Treaty 4 territory). I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1999 with a B.Sc. and M.D. and later completed a B.A. (English) at the University of Regina. My medical career has taken me to Winnipeg, northwestern Ontario, northern Saskatchewan and Nunavut. These days I'm in Regina with my children and far too many cats*, where I practice family medicine and am working towards a Visual Arts degree. 

 

My poems have appeared in literary journals and anthologies including Grain, CV2, Room, and Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine. “Last evening I stumbled” placed second for the Vallum Award for Poety and my collection, Shot, was third for the John V. Hicks Memorial Long Manuscript Award.  "Four Children," a flash fiction story, won the Saskatchewan Writers Guild's inaugural Guild Prize.
