She will be taking a year off from school to travel, with the aims of broadening and brightening her writing scope. Ever since going to Europe with her class in grade eleven, she has been thrilled by the beauty and diversity of different locations on this singular Earth.

She has been born and lives in Quebec, Canada, and is the daughter of Erin and Scott and the sister to her younger siblings, Shayla, Levi, and Dawson.
