I always knew I wanted to work with books—I just wasn’t sure how. I followed the idea of books through a BA in English Literature, but it was only after a brief stint in Library Sciences that I found my way to publishing. I had the absolute pleasure of interning at WCA during my final semester in Centennial College’s publishing certificate, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the industry.
When I’m reading, I’m drawn to fiction and have a particular fondness for character-driven fantasy and understated contemporary. My favourites range from bone-chilling stories that keep you guessing (pun intended) like Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, to sprawling fantasies like The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, to quiet books like We Are Okay by Nina Lacour. Outside of reading, I roll dice (poorly) in tabletop games, herd cats, and continue to try and make the perfect cup of coffee one Chemex filter at a time.
