I'm Maxine, a Canadian-born creative and problem-solver who found a home in the suburbs of Minnesota's Twin Cities for the past 18 years. From a young age, I've maintained a passion for building, creating, and exploring the world around me. But my journey has been anything but conventional…
With a degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, coupled with minors in Astrophysics and Creative Writing, I've cultivated a unique blend of technical expertise and artistic expression. This diverse background allows me to approach challenges from multiple angles, finding innovative solutions that others might overlook.
When I'm not immersed in work, you'll likely find me cycling through Minnesota's beautiful trails, cheering for the local hockey team, or experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen. These pursuits not only keep me grounded but also fuel my creativity and problem-solving skills.
As a published author since 2021, I've had the joy of bringing imaginative tales to life, primarily for teen and young adult audiences. Writing has taught me the power of storytelling in connecting with people and conveying complex ideas in accessible ways.
My professional journey has led me to develop a wide array of skills, from computer-aided design and project management to content creation and digital marketing. I've learned that success often lies at the intersection of organization and creativity, and I'm passionate about helping others find that sweet spot in their own pursuits.
Through my blog, I share insights on productivity tools, offer tips from my various endeavors, and even sprinkle in some of my culinary adventures. It's my way of giving back to the community and empowering others to pursue their passions, whatever they may be.
As someone who has navigated the challenges of immigration and settling in a new country, I understand the value of adaptability and perseverance. These experiences have shaped my global perspective and my ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
