Mar 2010
I'm a Queen's grad, have a huge and loving family and am insanely loyal to my friends. I will forever back the Toronto Maple Leafs, regardless of how terrible they place in the standings, I love playing any type of sport imaginable, and am up for just about any adventure. I love to read, write, watch movies, hang with friends (sober or otherwise), shop (a little too much) and surf the net (obvs).

I think social networking and media are amazing, inventive, intriguing and I am generally fascinated by everything about it.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
I am one in a Million... No really I am. My heart and all of my organs are on the opposite side of my body, well anything you have one of that is.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Sleeping outdoors in the middle of winter in -35 degree weather for 2 weeks, without going indoors once.
How do you define cool?
Being passionate. Broad I know, finding something that you truly care about, is really cool, to me that is.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Keeping your eyes open, at all times. Trends come in literally all forms, so being aware of your surroundings is a great way to find new trends.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
Getting up to the minute awesome info from all over the world.
What is your favorite trend?
So far - Paper Eyelashes
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Excitement! No one wants to read about something cool if it's not hyped up!
How do you reset to be creative?
Sunshine and a good book. There's nothing better then beachside chicklit to refresh your mind.
What inspires or excites you?
Toronto. Queen Street or Kensington Market in particular.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Jetpacks. Seriously. Taking the TTC at $3 a pop will prove to be both economically unfeasible for students let alone the general public, but I think technology moves at such a fast pace, I wouldn't be surprised if they were unveiled tomorrow!
