Publications & Projects

My Children's Books

Years ago (before I had children) I had two large American Pointers who I wrote books about. The dogs have since passed away but they live on in my children's books, ‘The True Story of Duke and Dot’ as well as ‘Duke and Dot go for a Walk.’ You can find them on Amazon here.

Research & Advocacy

When possible I take the time to publicly advocate for children and child care. I am currently working on a project with the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC to advocate for a publicly funded, provincial wage grid for Early Childhood Educators.
