Why I do this work
This is my favourite corner of the internet.
The place where community projects come to life, kindness turns into action, and we get to make Moncton a little brighter, braver, and more joyful together.
Accessibili-TREAT is our annual inclusive Halloween celebration created for kids of all ages and abilities. Think trunk-or-treat meets pure joy. Every station is accessible, allergy-friendly, sensory-safe, and designed so every child can take part fully. It’s community at its best: neighbours showing up, families connecting, and kids lighting up with excitement. This is one of the events that made me fall completely in love with hosting community experiences.
Every year, our family and community come together to collect 100 new gifts for children supported by Moncton Headstart. It’s a tradition that started with a simple idea: what if we could make the holidays brighter for kids who deserve a little extra magic? The result is always the same… overwhelming generosity, a home filled with gifts, and the happy chaos of delivering everything together as a family. It’s kindness multiplied.
Run for Women is more than a race. It’s a movement that raises funds for women’s programs across Canada, including our very own Courage Center. Every year, I build a team, lace up, show up, and cheer loudly. This event is about connection, community, and supporting the organizations that help women heal, grow, and rebuild. Plus, it’s an incredible morning of energy and empowerment.
Shake Your Booty for Charity is exactly what it sounds like: a dance-your-heart-out party that raises real money for a local non-profit. We bring in a DJ, fill the room with people who love to move, and dance for a cause that matters. It’s joyful, uplifting, and one of the most fun ways to give back. Community + movement + purpose = the perfect trio.
Coffee & Content is a monthly gathering where creators, Realtors®, and curious humans come together to brainstorm, collaborate, and make content as a group. It’s laid-back, collaborative, and built on the idea that creativity grows when we do it together. Whether you’re a pro or just getting started, this is where new ideas (and friendships) spark. We meet once a month!
If you want to change a city, start with a small group of people who care deeply. That’s how real community begins.

Let’s do something fun together
From charity runs to local markets to community celebrations, I love showing up, cheering people on, and capturing the heart of what makes Moncton special.
If you're hosting something meaningful, quirky, powerful, or just plain fun, I’d love to be there as a participant, collaborator, or content creator.
