Not only has she been instructed by some of the best mentors in theatre she has been honoured to work with great Canadian Playwrights such as Dan Needles and Norm Foster. Her freelance writing can be found in local newspapers and two magazines published feature articles. Organizations have commissioned her for specific works. Can Lightning Strike Twice is one of her “hilarious farces” where the skirt chasing hero is changed into a woman and has to deal with the fall out. Her Christmas Panto- An Inappropriate Claus sees Santa in lots of hot water for being politically incorrect. Her latest work Not Done Yet echoes the elderly’s concern for how their family relates to them, but of course they will outwit their adult children!
