I grew up and live in Saskatchewan on the Canadian prairies. I am a single mama to two beautiful and smart young girls, who both play a huge role in what I do today.

Growing up, I was always one of the biggest kids in my class or friend groups. Body positivity was not as loud as it is now, therefore, my body type really played into the quality of life I had as a child. I would often cover myself up with baggy clothes as I either could never find clothes that made me feel good in my body, or I wanted to be invisible. Shopping with friends was never as fun for me as it was for them. I often was limited to the accessories section as a lot of the items in the stores we shopped at were just too small.

Throughout my later high school years and early adulthood, my self-confidence began to bloom and my world started changing. I no longer felt pressured to look a certain way, I started to feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Now I spend time creating content online and speaking in schools and at events spreading the message of size inclusivity, body diversity, body positivity and beyond.

In 2021, I created a series called Fat Girl in The City - a series where I try activities that plus size people may feel intimidated to do to hopefully encourage people to try it themselves. You can still find the series on my Instagram! From there, The Curvy Club was born!

In October 2021, The Curvy Club kicked off its first events in Saskatoon. Since then it has grown so much and expanded into Regina, SK and we aren’t stopping there. We even gained national attention when we won the Impact Grant presented by RBC at The BodCon in 2022!
