I am a multimedia journalist covering city news in Canada's capital. In my career, I have worked across platforms producing stories for print, online, television, and radio. I spent nearly two years as an on-air TV reporter and excel at researching under-reported stories and presenting them in an engaging way. I also have strategic communications experience and have developed communications strategies and conducted media training for non-profit organizations of varying sizes.
Previously, I worked as a staff reporter for Global News, The Toronto Star and The Montreal Gazette. My work has also appeared on CTV, CBC, CBS and Al Jazeera English.
As a reporter and video-journalist for Global News in Moncton, New Brunswick, I covered the province for the both the local and Atlantic Canada newscasts, appearing occasionally on Global National. Acting as a veritable “one-woman show”, I produced, filmed, reported and edited all of my own stories. During my time there, I covered Justin Bourque’s court appearances and his conviction for killing three Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers (Canada’s national police force) and injuring two others. Bourque was sentenced to 70 years in prison, the longest prison sentence in Canadian history. His case also highlighted institutional problems in the types of weapons RCMP officers have access to and their training. I also covered the Hurricane Arthur disaster which isolated several communities and left many people without electricity for weeks. I also produced a multi-part series on overcrowded hospitals and “hallway care”, which looked at the issue of doctors treating hospital patients in the hallway because there were no rooms. Some doctors even reported having patients die in the hallway.
I always knew I wanted to be a journalist growing up, and I wrote my first ‘article’, a letter-to-the-editor discussing recent changes to library cards, when I was 10-years-old. I hold a Bachelor of Journalism with Honours from Ryerson University in Toronto.
