Read Full Bio →

A dedicated Toronto-based journalist with 3+ years of experience crafting multimedia stories, fact-checking and verifying information and experimenting with creative ways to tell stories. When I'm not in the daily news cycle, I focus on pitching my own stories and projects, with a particular emphasis on labour, equity and disability issues.

A team player, quick learner and decisive leader ready to take on any challenge.
