What do you do to stay active and healthy? I love outdoor activities – cycling, hiking, and walking my dogs are favourites. I train twice a week in Mixed Martial Arts and I love it! It’s awesome for releasing your inner “Ninja Fighter”! Also, I love eating, and we are so lucky to have such a diverse assortment of healthy restaurants and food in Vancouver.

What features do you look for in a bikini? First and foremost, fit and quality of fabric. I love Seafolly for those reasons. Their suits are fashionable, they are a great fit, and feature high quality fabric and construction that holds its shape.

Why do you like wearing a bikini? It makes me feel sexy, fit, and confident.

What is your favourite memory of a time when you were wearing a bikini? I worked in the Caribbean for 7 months – a bikini was practically my uniform. It was such an amazing experience to be away, enjoying sunshine and sand every day!

Is a woman ever too old to wear a bikini? Nope! I believe we should think like European and South American women and become more comfortable with our body regardless of our shape, size, or age. Beauty comes in many different forms. There are physical traits I miss from my 20’s, but I love where I am right now in my life. There’s a quote by Dr. Suess that sums it all up: “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter won’t mind.”
