Chocolate covered almonds and strawberries.
What are your hobbies?
Creating art, including painting and drawing, and horseback riding.

There's so many to choose from. I love to spend time at the AGO, ROM, Distillery District, the Well, Yorkville, Harbourfront Centre and our own King's College Circle on campus.
Please join us in welcoming Caroline to the IMS! She is in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, so feel free to stop by, introduce yourself and say hello in person.
