Kariann has been a social entrepreneur, educator and creative writer for as far back as she can remember, teaching English to her childhood francophone neighbor and losing herself in scrap books and journals as a youngster.

With a background in business (BA, MBA McGill University), she has worked as a project manager on Cape Town's Olympic Bid, an instructor with First Nations Organizations in British Columbia, and as a lecturer about social justice and environmental sustainability issues in McGill's Faculty of Management.

Kariann is also co-founder of a national non-profit organization and has experience in organizational evaluation and organizational development workshop-design.

These are Kariann’s skills. Her passions include writing, spending time in nature, mastering yoga and grappling with exotic recipes.
