Digital producer.
Community content maker.
Non-stop podcast listener.
Em dash enthusiast.
​​Avid traveller.
Hot chocolate drinker.

That pretty much sums it up, but I'll elaborate a little...

I'm a fast-talking, loud-laughing, forward-thinking content creator with an eye for great storytelling.

I'm all about creative design, compelling photography and clever, concise writing (and alliteration).

I make stuff for all platforms—television, radio, online and social—and every day is a bit different, but you're likely to find me either behind the camera in the community or brainstorming digital projects in the CBC Ottawa newsroom.

I'm currently the Senior Communications Officer at CBC Ottawa. Before taking on that role, I worked as an associate producer and communications officer at the station. I recently completed my Master's in Communication at Carleton University, where my research focused on podcasts and audience engagement. I'm also a graduate of Carleton University's journalism program.  

I've got bylines with CBC Ottawa, J-Source, Ottawa Magazine, Ottawa Life Magazine, Apt613, and more.
