What do you do when you’re not at YACC? Read, volunteer, travel, walk/hike/run, connect with loved ones, obsessively create lists in Google Maps — you know, normal stuff.
What are your words of wisdom/favourite quote? “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Which superpower would you like to have? My forever answer to this question is teleportation! It’s all the more true now that my work is in Newfoundland, my home is in Ontario, my family and friends are in BC, and my (online) school is in Alberta!
