I has an MA in Journalism from the University of British Columbia and a BA in Global Development and Psychology from Queen’s University. For me, the whole point of my work is to open myself up to the world and ask, “How can I help?”

I have produced for award-winning news organizations, including Al Jazeera, The Tyee, and The Globe and Mail. I have covered the Olympics, cattle farming in the Prairies, and motorcycle clubs in Surrey, and interviewed Indigenous authors, policy advocates, and Canadian athletes. My focus is on nuanced and intersectional stories that highlight the depth and authenticity of people’s lived experiences.

I also specialize in science communications. Using web-based multimedia tools and working directly with scientists and researchers, I translate complex information into educational content for all ages and knowledge levels. In this line of work, I have produced material on Indigenous data sovereignty, vulnerabilities facing marine mammals in the PNW, and international marine policy. My work always aims to answer the age-old question, “Why should I care?”

Currently, I am working as a freelance Communications and Media Manager for Vancouver’s newest Premier Women’s Rugby team – The Ravens. Female retention in contact sports in Canada is a challenge, with girls and women showing higher dropout rates than boys and men, especially during adolescence. I am passionate about introducing women and girls to sports, and making sure they are supported enough to continue playing for a long time at the highest level possible.

What unites my journalistic and communications work is the idea that intimidating and difficult topics can be conveyed in bite-sized, high-impact ways that encourage change. I believe that our passions and concerns don’t have to overwhelm us. Rather, they can point us in the direction of our next meaningful action.
