I am a 60-ish Canadian business woman who lives and works in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

I grew up in northern BC where I enjoyed the freedom of hiking in fields and forests, communing with birds and trees. I collected rocks and fossils and tried to learn the names of all the plants and creatures. I do miss the quiet and solitude of that kind of life but for now I am where I need to be. Work helps pay for my adventures and I love having my grandchildren close!

My education is in computers and I have worked on contract with some of Canada’s major oil and gas companies in their web departments. Now I am running my own business, New Dawn Manuals Ltd., from home.

One of my main hobbies is collecting data that seems to support the existence of a particular ancient civilization (I want to write about my findings one day). Another is researching my family tree, particularly the Kirkpatrick and Bowe branches (I already write about this on my blog).

More recently, I have grown extremely interested in the SIRIUS Disclosure Project. I have completed two weeks of CE-5 training with Dr. Steven Greer and have started a local group called CE-5 Nanaimo. I first became aware of extra-terrestrial visits when I was young. I saw many strange things in the northern BC skies and one sighting in particular stayed with me for life. I wrote a blog post about it if you’re interested in learning more.
