I was born and raised in Victoria, Canada.
At the age of 17, I left home to study at the University of Toronto, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics, with favourite subjects Numerical Methods and Advanced Logic.
At the age of 23, I married Hans Groen, and shortly afterwards moved with him to The Netherlands. Hans passed away in 2022. We were together more than 36 years and the grieving process was at times brutal. But the sun has finally come out again, and I’m ready to embark on life’s next big adventure.
Ever since I was a very young child, I’ve pondered the questions, Who am I? and Where am I? I’ve always found ‘reality’ a bit, well, surreal; I have a strong sense of being an observer or, more accurately, as if I my life is an ever more lucid dream. Those two questions have been a driving force in my life, and led me on a wonderful journey to some surprising answers and a very blessed life.
