Born July 13, NOYB (year = none of your business  ). I was raised in Ottawa, Ontario.  What a great city to grow up in! My parents put me in tap, jazz and baton lessons at the age of  3. I was also a competitive Baton twirler until the age of 17 — with the Gailettes who won Ontario, Canadian and World Championships!

While studying Economics at Carlton University, I became a CFL Cheerleader with the Ottawa Rough Riders! What an awesome experience and what an amazing group of girls I met!  I was proud to work at the Royal Bank of Canada, following in my Grandfather and my Fathers footsteps!  I decided I needed to see the world so at 23 years old I left for Australia and traveled to Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, and South East Asia!

I returned to Canada briefly before heading to Spain where I was robbed in Barcelona — lost passport, plane ticket, visa, camera, etc. This awful experience changed the course of my life! I was going to stay in London, UK for 2 hours to catch a flight and ended up staying for 5 years!

Living and working in the UK, I developed my love for everything British!  The friends, my British Family, the language, The monarchy, fashion, and of course their humor!! I worked at The Bank of America, I also sold advertising in Italy, Austria and Switzerland, cruised 4 months through the French canals from Calais down to Agde and then sailed to Barcelona and all  down the coast of Spain to Gibraltar in a 27 foot gaff rigged sailboat!  Back in the UK, I became a Plumbers mate!

My love of the Big Apple and The Big Smoke came when I spent time in Chicago and New York City!

Back again I head to Ottawa, returned to school — received my IT Degree where I then got hired at Accenture for almost 4 years, I commuted between Ottawa and Toronto as an IT Consultant!

It was during this time that I decided I loved Toronto and moved permanently. Here I met some of the most incredible and beautiful girlfriends (YOU).

Toronto is an amazing city with so much to offer! I graduated from Second City (Levels ABCDE), studied Spanish, took Adult Tap classes, Hip Hop Classes and Belly Dancing for 2 years!

Here in this town, through a fabulous friend, I met the man of my dreams, my best friend and soul mate!

Over the next few years I worked at various companies and swung from a few chandeliers!  I have always loved music, dance and fitness and now am ready to share with the world all that I have experienced and learned!

I am grateful for my life, my family and my friends.

Love Cheryl
