My plan:

I plan to travel and to shoot documentaries and promotional videos for outdoor events,companies and tourism destinations. I also want to capture different cultures andlandscapes on film and share the beauty of our natural world.

I have a passion for film and documentaries. Shooting documentaries is a great way toget information across to people. It is an effective medium to share thoughts, storiesand experiences of real people, places and things around the world while inspiringpeople to make a difference.

My long term career objectives and goals:My dream is to shoot and produce travel documentaries that help to showcase peoplethat are making a difference in the world. I want to meet and interview different culturesaround the world and share their values and beliefs on video. I am interested incapturing moments of real life experiences and interviewing those who have a passionfor life. I imagine myself sharing my travel experiences through film and inspiring others

to travel.

As a nature lover, I am passionate about our Earth. I wish to promote globalconservation. I am eager to help promote organizations that have a strong belief ingreen energy and green living. I look forward to informing others about the state of ouroceans due to human influence and over fishing while helping to promote theorganizations that are helping to protect our oceans. Iʼm very excited to shoot HD videoin the depths of the sea and in the heart if the jungle. I plan to travel and documentpeople, places and things in the world that are unknown and unusual. I look forward tosharing what I discover through documentaries.

I am interested in motivational speaking and sharing my travel experiences in schoolsand in film festivals across the country. Iʼd like to share the richness of real lifeexperiences by getting out there and doing it and by motivating others to follow theirdreams. I hope to inspire students and youth by being a positive role model andsharing my films with elementary, high school and college students and by offeringpresentations of my travels.

lifestyle with being active and eating right. This is another interest of mine that I wish toexplore further.

Family and life plan:

I have a boyfriend who I love. His name is Zachary. We both share a love for travel andadventure... he has just completed a month long offshore sailing trip from Costa Rica toBaja Mexico. He enjoys traveling and inspiring others to travel and learn more aboutother parts of the world. Heʼll be returning to Toronto on Feb 8th. We are planning tolive together in Thunder Bay when I am done school in the spring... He is veryconnected with Lakehead University and is a lead instructor for their outdoor recreation

programʼs expeditions. He is also publishing a book “A sea kayakers guide to the North

Shore of Lake Superior”. We hope to create a life together and eventually have childrentogether. At this point... weʼre working on creating a home together where we cancombine outdoor adventure experiences with filming documentaries. We created ashort promotional video for Delta Kayaks last spring. The video is located at http:// vimeo.com/12817311. Since creating this short documentary style promo video theyhave asked us to make a longer documentary (about 45 min) video which will help topromote the Nootka Sound area in BC. Weʼll be coming up with a price to cover ourcost of travel and hope to make this video in the near future for Delta Kayaks.

I believe that anything is possible as long as you put your heart and soul into it. I have a

deep love and desire to create documentaries that inspire people in the next 5 years.
