Freelance writer and producer.
I’m a podcaster and writer living in Ottawa. For the last five years, I’ve been telling stories through my reporting and audio projects.
I’ve been fortunate to produce great Canadian content for CBC and Canadaland. I love working on new projects in challenging locations and controlled environments alike - small crews to big budget projects - I believe a good story deserves to be told no matter the scale.
