Nice to meet you.
I’ve dedicated my life to telling stories. They help me make sense of the world and my place in it.
I’m a freelance editor, writer, content strategist, and storytelling consultant, as well as a literary agent with Westwood Creative Artists.
I have over a decade of experience in media and publishing. I have previously held the title of editor-in-chief at The Georgia Straight, Montecristo Magazine, and SAD Mag, and also worked as the director of content at Vitruvi and as an associate editor at The Huffington Post Canada. My writing has appeared in publications including The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, Hazlitt, The Logic, Canada’s National Observer, and CBC.
On the copywriting and content strategy side, I have worked with companies including Ste. Marie Studio, Moe’s Home, Open Road Auto Group, Century Group, 33 Acres Brewing, Organika, and Field & Social. I also love interviewing people on stage and speaking on panels, and have done so for companies such as Vitruvi, Wallop Film, and Penguin Random House Canada.
