A proud mother of four wonderful children and a freelance journalist based in beautiful Kamloops, B.C., born and raised on the unceded territory of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc. With a passion for writing and a natural sense of curiosity, Rebecca’s focus is on stories that highlight the people, events, and culture shaping our city.
