Bonjour! čɛčɛhaθɛč
¡Hola! Hyvää päivää. Hi!
If you don't know me, you've come to the right place.
This is where you can find out what I think, what I care about,
and what I'm passionate about.
My name is CaroleAnn
I am privileged and grateful to live, work & play within the traditional territory of the ɬəʔamen (Tla'amin) Nation peoples who have sustainably lived on these lands for many thousands of years as the original inhabitants.
