It may be that I’m the teeniest bit more proud of my Creative Writing Certificate (University of Toronto) than of my Bachelor of Journalism, Political Science and African Studies (Carleton University) and my Masters in Communications (University of Ottawa) – both of which I’m extremely proud. It might be something to do with having had a baby at the same time as I was completing the certificate; it might be something to do with how much fun I had getting ‘certified’ in something I enjoy so much.
Many thanks to the creative writing teachers and fellow students who helped me polish my craft; special thanks to Colleen Murphy, my playwriting mentor, who guided me in creating a better script. Next up, the stage!
