After moving to San Carlos in 2006 I built my own home, and a second house next to my property. My degree in interior design was invaluable during this process.
I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US, with my Permanent Resident status in Mexico.
Along with my passion for interior design I am an avid blog writer, self-published author, and founding member of San Carlos Pueblo Escenico, an urban plan that promotes the character and beauty of our community.
