Author: Live Rural NL
I’m carrying on my grandfather’s tradition of being a storyteller and will share rural Newfoundland & Labrador culture, traditions, business, travel, geography and experiences.
I completed a Bachelor of Commerce Hons. (Coop) degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador. I currently live and work on the Great Northern Peninsula, where I was born and raised. I have lived and worked internationally and travelled to more than 75 countries around the globe. On October 11, 2011 I was elected the youngest Member to Represent the people of the Straits -White Bay North in the Provincial Legislature of Newfoundland & Labrador and served until 2021 the people of the Great Northern Peninsula when I opted to not re-offer for re-election.
