So What's My Story?

After 3 years of being a poor social worker (the work I loved, the pay I didn't), I decided it was time to go back to school and get my Master's! After weighing my options (school far away from home, or school in a different country that is only an 8-hour drive from home) I decided to try my luck in British Columbia, Canada.

For a year I lived in
Surrey, BC while attending Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC. However, as the final component of my work toward my Masters degree in Criminology I have moved back to the states to complete an internship at an Independent Living Program for youth leaving the foster care system.

Here is the story of my adventures as a graduate student in a "foreign" country as well as my current work back in the states.

What Would YOU Do For Nicorette Gum?

In school, somewhere along the line, I remember watching commercials from foreign countries that I couldn't BELIEVE would actually air on TV! They were often high sexualized and inappropriate... little did I know that Canada had different commercials all of their own!

Canada's commercials aren't inappropriate exactly, but rather, weird, odd, and somewhat humorous... here are a couple of my favorites.


BC Dairy Foundation
This is equivalent to our "Got Milk" campaigns...



Lotto 649
As I've mentioned before, the lotto is HUGE up here. This one makes Jacob laugh every time!



Nicorette Extreme Chill Gum
What would you do to stop smoking?
