About Me

MySpace Slideshow Upload Images MySpace Graphics MySpace Editor Photo CollageI just finished studying law at the University of Victoria. I live with a wonderful husband and two kitties and have 5 great sisters. I am currently trying to use my law degree to do some good in this world as I believe that we live in a world characterzied by devastating social inequalities that are not inevitable. My philosophy on life is to enjoy it while still believing and following in your dreams and never letting go of your idealistic visions! I work at the Together Against Poverty Society (aka TAPS) where I represent the poor.
