A PERSONAL MISSION

Why I Created Life Story Lane

My passion for storytelling has been with me my entire life. But it took a deeply personal experience to transform that passion into a mission.

"My mother now lives with advanced dementia. The memories, the stories, and the unique voice that once defined her life are no longer accessible to us. That profound realization, that some stories are lost forever when we wait too long, is the heart behind Life Story Lane."

Professionally, I am a seasoned journalist with expertise in interviewing, writing, and photography for newspapers and magazines. I have also worked as a communications specialist alongside senior leadership across the public, corporate, and non-profit sectors globally, writing policy reports for the United Nations Country Office in Vietnam and educational content for the Canadian International Development Agency. In every role, I wrote, published, and edited award-winning content.

I created this service to help families capture and preserve the stories of their loved ones with care, intention, and timeliness, before those precious moments fade away. Backed by a talented design team, we bring over 30 years of professional journalism and storytelling to every project.
