Gwen is a Canadian expatriate who has lived on Dominica, the Nature Island since the late 1990's. She relocated there from her "home and native land" in order to have improved health and a better, albeit simpler quality of life. Her educational background is in music (BMus '81 - Queen's University, Kingston Ontario) and librarianship (MLS '83 - Dalhousie University, Halifax Nova Scotia). She manages to put her skills to good use in Dominica. She sings in a small vocal ensemble that occasionally performs at charitable functions and church services. She has also taught senior English Literature courses at a local private school and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to French adults from the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. While she has previously written extensively about Dominica in different media, her current focus is on her blog, Ti Domnik Tales, which highlights many of her adventures and experiences,as well as some of the fascinating people that she has met on this special island.
