From corporate drop out to lifestyle entrepreneur, speaker, long-distance athlete, and a master of reinvention. Having studied sociology and psychology at the University of Victoria, Kaley is a not only an athlete and writer, but is a  proud Millennial.
​
Picking up from where her education left off, Kaley's writings cover often over-looked or under-talked about topics in culture, society and pop culture. She also spends her time writing and developing scripted screenplays for television..
 
In addition to her writing, Kaley has completed two marathons, several half marathons and 10km races. Collectively, she has completed over 500km in races, and thousands of kilometres training.
 
But what makes Kaley unique is that prior to her remarkable athletic achievements, she hadn’t even run one race, let alone attempt to begin by running a half marathon.
 
Although she began her endurance career as a competitive dancer in the early 2000s, Kaley’s running was slide-lined for many years until a car accident in 2014 catapulted her on the health trajectory she’s on today. Side-lined for close to two years during the healing process, she foresaw a lifestyle change was looming in her near future.
 
It was a moment of reinvention.
 
In the months immediately preceding her turning point, Kaley overhauled her diet, returned to the gym, laced up her running shoes and hit the pavement once again. It didn’t take long after this lifestyle change for her to change her career as well, and set her sights on running a half marathon – her first competitive solo race. 
 

In 2016, Kaley swapped her idyllic life on Vancouver Island for city life in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Despite several setbacks in her first few years, she continued to pursue a career in the corporate world while channelling the lessons learned through those setbacks to help others with her writing and activism.

 

Kaley’s work has been featured in CBC news, and other publications including print and online. ​

 

When she isn’t writing, running, speaking, or spending time with her friends and family, you can find her on the seawall, in the mountains of the Northshore Mountains or on one of the many beaches of Vancouver.
