My goal is to tell compelling stories. Whether you’re reading or listening, I try to cut through the noise to share what you need to know and why it matters.
What I do
Reporting
I’ve travelled around Canada and the world to tell stories, most recently as a business journalist. Over a decade of reporting I covered a wide range of topics including transportation, telecommunications and municipal affairs. I also write personal essays.
Writing & Editing
Every business can benefit from clear, concise communication, whether you’re a one-person startup or a small company. I write and edit content for websites, blogs, newsletters and social media.
Speaking
Some stories are best told through sound. As a former SiriusXM radio host and a podcast host, I have experience with live interviews and sound editing.
My work
After more than a decade of reporting, my byline is on thousands of articles. Literally. Here’s a small sample of what I do. For more, visit My Work.
