== Neat facts about me ==
Made it this far? Cool, thanks for the interest! Here are some fun facts about me, in no particular order.

* My graduate capstone analyzes best practices around the world for promoting quality in Early Learning and Child Care, and how Alberta can adapt them as it implements its $10/day child care agreement with the Federal government.
* For my undergraduate honours thesis, I studied how political parties in [[Alberta]] shifted their discourse about climate change over a period of approximately 20 years.
* My favourite TV show is [[M*A*S*H (TV series)|MASH]], closely followed in second by [[Corner Gas]]
* My favourite colour is green (grassy/forest green, to be precise)
* I have [[Misophonia]] (AKA 4S)
* I would list my favourite genre of music here, but some friends have access to this profile and I promised them I'd never tell them what it is.
* I only take pictures with a phone camera because... ''gestures vaguely at empty bank account''
*I was one of the first people in Alberta diagnosed with the [[SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant|Omicron variant]] of [[COVID-19]]
