I am a Canadian wife, mother, business owner. My worldview is Biblically informed meaning that I strive to interpret and understand the world of past, present and future through a Biblical lens.

Thought I don't consider myself an expert holding a Phd on any given subject, I'd like to think I have something of use to contribute to Wikipedia on occasion. It's a tool we use several times a week in our household as we home educate. I often notice that there are citations needing further support, so that is one of my hopes for Wikipedia, that it might become a fuller resource with more citations. I also hope to see a true freedom of thought with opposing views given freedom to be expressed without the fad of cancel culture drowning out anything it does not particularly like or agree with. I think that bad ideas should be met with better ideas, just as much as falsehoods should be countered with truth. To this end, I hope to help make Wikipedia a forum of truth, freedom, growth and help to the world, many of who do not have easy access to information, much less truth.

My professional background pales to that of my personal one. For almost 2 decades I have been a devoted Christian, wife and mother. These have and continue to shape, influence and transform me in ways I could not have imagined when I was entering adulthood in the late 1990's. I find myself lining up with policies on the right side of the political aisle and am dismayed by the hyper polarization of identity politics in the West in the past 5 years. This has led me to seek more privacy, anonymity and personal boundaries as sharing more conservative, traditional or worse yet Biblical positions has become increasing attacked and vilified without being weighed on it's own merit. I hope Wikipedia will be a place to share information without hyper politicization or personal attack.

Since the lock down measures of 2020 I have devoted myself to help small local businesses like ours grow and succeed. To that end I am helping Crown Towing Services in Stittsville (just outside Kanata in Ontario.) They are a start up towing service operating at 41 Bayhill Ridge in Stittsville, Ontario, K2S 1B9 with a local number of 613-519-4255. It's my hope to see them as well as other small local businesses overcome the major setbacks of the lock downs and even see other new industries and businesses flourish in this time and the recovery period to come.
