For as long as I can remember I have loved plants.
I was raised in a household with a beautiful garden, and some of my earliest memories involved the joy of running around and exploring the oasis I called home. Weekends were filled with family adventures to scenic spots like Lynn Canyon and Grouse Mountain, as well as trips to tulip festivals, pumpkin patches, and bustling farmers' markets.
Over the past decade, my life and career has been woven into the beauty industry, and to be candid, the industry can be a rather unattractive. Three years into my career, I made a conscious decision to veer away from conventional beauty and immerse myself in the world of "green beauty." While not a pioneer, I forged my own path and have since built a successful career for myself.
When the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in 2020, I made a decision to elevate my passion for plants and plant medicine. I enrolled in the Pacific Rim College Community Herbalism Program. As a recent graduate of the program, I am thrilled to share this transformative journey with you. Thank you for joining me on this path
