Storytelling illuminates the world. Georgie is a British reporter, currently living in the
Okanagan. After studying for one year at UBCO, Georgie graduated from the University of

Okanagan is an area brimming with possibility and filled with a diverse and lively community.
Through her writing she hopes to shine a light on the people who live here and give voice to
those who’s stories might have been unheard. Culture, art, and community fuel her
interests, as she works to uncover what makes the Okanagan so special.
