BIO
Cary (as in Cary Grant) Shakeshaft-Nicholson was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada… A steel city located between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Approx. population of 580,000. At a young age her parents divorced and remarried, resulting in a double household environment. Cary wasn’t much into schooling; she attended a Catholic high school where her favourite subjects were Drama and Gym. She never finished College and started working for a Family business... Tim Hortons (highly known in Canada)
As a teenager Cary played a lot of Baseball (and even played for Canada) and spent time with her friends and her pets. Roller skating became a huge pastime for several years. In her early 20’s she got hired at UPS and got involved with Aviation- where she met her one day to be husband, Brandon. 12 years at UPS landed her a Load planning and Management position, allowing her to financially support herself Not long after dating Brandon… he got offered a job with Cathay Pacific, which lead them here to HK. Cary then retired from Aviation.
After residing in Central (SOHO) area for a few months with a roommate, Cary and Brandon moved to Lantau (Mui Wo) and have happily been living in a village house with their 4 adopted dogs. Cary now spends her days being a stay-at-home housewife, attending to household duties and spending time with her dogs. She’s actively involved with TAILS LANTAU, a nonprofit animal charity here on Lantau. Cary loves HK and all it has to offer, but realised that the animal’s welfare in HK is a mess and needs a major facelift.
