I am an author, speaker, parent, and former Crown Attorney. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the devastating effects of low self-esteem and diminished confidence in children. As a mother of two daughters, I became deeply concerned about the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by mainstream and social media. Recognizing the link between damaged self-worth, bullying, mental health issues, and future challenges, I turned to writing children’s stories with a powerful message: true beauty comes from within. In 2013, I launched ‘The Celebrate YOU!’ Tour, reaching over 150 schools and community groups across North America. My work focuses on empowering children by promoting confidence, digital etiquette, and online safety.

Most recently, I introduced The Family Smartphone Guide, a vital resource for parents navigating the complexities of their children’s digital lives. This guide provides practical tools for setting boundaries, understanding online risks, and offers essential insights into the physical, mental, and legal implications of smartphone use
