Storyteller. Traveller. Self-taught graphic designer. Tea drinker. Lover of art, culture, media, adventure and chocolate.
That pretty much sums it up, but I'll elaborate a little... I am a driven, dedicated and energetic graduate of the journalism program at Carleton University. I am interested in a broad range of topics, including local news and events, arts and culture, entertainment, history, and much more. I am open to all forms of journalism, from print to broadcast to online as well as public relations and communications. My work has been featured on CBC Ottawa, J-Source, Ottawa Magazine, Apt613, Ottawa Life Magazine and more. When I'm not in the newsroom, you'll find me back at Carleton University where I am currently pursuing a master's degree in communication. My research interests include digital media, social media strategies, newsrooms and popular culture. |
