Background: I am thankful for my family, for they have shaped who I am. I am a CODA, a Child of Deaf Adults (both parents), and I have a Deaf sister. As a child, I interpreted things well beyond my years, and did so effortlessless and fluidly. As an adult, I see what a gift it was that I could be a bridge between worlds. I share some of my coda experiences in my stand up comedy – there is humour in all things.
Education: My coach training is from The Coaches Training Institute based out of San Francisco, CA. I will be a Professional Certified Coach in Fall 2010. I received my Bachelor of Arts (English) from Simon Fraser University in 2001. I enjoy the every day teachings life has to offer.
Are you ready to:
Coaching is finding a way to live your best life possible, everyday!
No, Coaching is not therapy. It isn’t meant to dwell on past events – it is meant to propel you into your future – the future you want for yourself.
From yourself: When you commit to Coaching, you can expect that you will gain focus and clarity about what inspires you and drives you. You will create and accomplish meaningful goals for yourself, and achieve success in your life’s passions.
From me: You can expect that I will be a supportive, honest, and passionate Coach. That we will have fun in the discovery of your life’s ambitions and dreams. I believe that each client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. You know what drives you, and you are fully capable of reaching for your dreams!
I would be honoured to be able to help you along your journey to joy and fulfillment. Drop me a line to book a free strategy session: 778-895-5326 or by Email Here

The 2010 DeafNation World Expo will be held at the Sands Expo Center, the perfect place to truly bring the Deaf together under one roof. The World Expo will take place at Sand Expo’s 200,000 sq. feet exhibit hall, where exhibitions, workshops, entertainment, sporting activities, activities for the children and so on will come together to provide four full days’ worth of many hours of presentations, education and socializing for the attendees. The best thing about the World Expo, aside from the socializing and cultural/language opportunities, will be the free admission to all events.
Our philosophy is that free admission brings a diversity of attendees who can share our culture, needs, language, and information. Overall, our goal is to give everyone the chance to meet new people from all the corners of the world, ranging anywhere from historical regions like Europe, the Americas and Africa to exotic regions like Asia and Australia, and learn new languages, new cultures and new traditions, which will be all done under one great roof. Make your plans right now and come be a part of the DeafNation World Expo, the largest Deaf event there is in the world!
