Nelson
In January 2023, I passed my 17th anniversary working for The Advocacy Centre in Nelson.  
My work focuses on issues involving the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, Landlord/tenant issues, CPP-Disability and "other" -- which can cover quite a variety.
I enjoy hiking and camping, and I'm always up for learning about a new Canadian author (especially a mystery writer, or and author who focuses on history).
