Later, she went to collage-first in Nova Scotia, and then in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island. She was a teacher for three years, and later she worked for a newspaper, the Halifax Daily Echo. She started writing stories and poems for newspapers and magzines. In 1911, she married a minister and moved with him to Toronto. But most of her stories are about her home, Prince Edward Island.
