I just completed a post-grad in Business Marketing Management at The Humber Business School. A year ago, I graduated from Laurier University in Communications. Today, I look for ways to fill my day with constructive, yet, personally meaningful tasks. I am a huge music lover, I try to attend/support as many concerts as possible and enjoy seeking out new artists to add to my music library. I also happen to be an impeccable host; who loves to entertain, cook, and keep the drinks flowing for all my friends. I enjoy all that Toronto has to offer but I also appreciate a getaway up north in Muskoka. I truly have an incredible family and a close group of friends who have given me so much love, support, humour, and confidence in everything I do. I hope to bring something of value to those who take the time to click on my trends. As far as I'm concerned, every season is Trend Hunting season. So, happy huntin',

What is unique that's not in your bio?

I am a 'Christmas baby' and I have to hear about it every time I am id'd. It really isn't as cracked up as it's supposed to be, there were no guiding stars or kings in attendance during my birth.

What's your favorite accomplishment?

If I were to say being who I am today is my favourite accomplishment, would that be lame?

How do you define cool?

Cool to me is anyone who does what they want because they want to do it. Especially, when that someone does not feel the need to explain themselves to anyone.

What is your secret to uncovering trends?

Keeping an open and observant mind to all that you come across. Too many people go on with their daily lives without thinking about what is going on around them. It is easy to see what people are doing, and what influences them into doing it, if you just take the time to notice.

What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?

What I like most about Trend Hunter is that it is a single source that offers topics of interest and discovery by thousands of contributors. This is one of those rare websites that really has something to offer everyone and the fact that everyone can sign-up to contribute makes it that much more exciting.

What is your favorite trend?

Collaborations between visual and musical artists that create something like 'Iamamiwhoami'. Check it out.

What are your tips for writing a juicy post?

I think people are really attracted to posts that a writer is excited to write about. Reading a post that hints of someones enthusiasm for that topic and really 'hearing' the writers voice through the writing, in my opinion, makes a post juicy.

How do you reset to be creative?

A weekend getaway to Muskoka will reset any mind.

What inspires or excites you?

I am inspired and excited by those who can make something with their hands. I have a major respect for the role of music, art, film, food, and clothing in my life but an even greater respect for those behind the crafts.

Predict something awesome for 2020?

I predict that the conspiracy theory of 'The New World Order' will be true in 2020 and that we will all live under the totalitarian one-world government of Apple. Oh wait, you asked for something awesome? The Iphone 14
