FEATURED WORK

I'm passionate about hard-hitting, agenda-setting, investigative reporting that holds people and institutions accountable.

I regularly file freedom-of-information (FOI) requests, access to information (ATIP) requests and use open-source intelligence to uncover stories no one else has.

Last year, I won gold at the Digital Publishing Awards for The Long Wait  — a short feature on immigrant families in Canada who found strength amid long waits to reunite during the pandemic.

I also won first place Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) award for a breaking news story about a deadly kidnapping in Hamilton.

The year prior, in 2021, I won another RTDNA for a breaking news story about the death of a notorious mobster.

BECOMING A JOURNALIST

I used to study neuroscience until a professor assigned us to write a news-style article about research — it was love at first write.

I switched to the University of Toronto and Centennial College joint-journalism program and I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Digital Journalism

A highlight includes Schools Under Stress — a three-part exclusive series examining the pandemic's impact on educators and students.

Editing and Producing

I'm an editor at CBC News and former editor at Postmedia. At 680 News, I assigned stories, produced lineups, edited stories and reported them.

Social media

I was selected to join CBC's Social Media Committee. I've grown Instagram accounts at CBC and Postmedia by more than 10,000 followers each and experiment with other social platforms.
