Hi! I’m a content writer, journalist and editor with graduate-level training and over a decade of full-time experience producing materials for national and international audiences.

I believe that nearly every topic is interesting under the right lens. Some stories practically tell themselves, which is always a pleasure, but I’ll gladly take on the challenge of turning something complex or seemingly dry into into a stylish and accessible read.

My clients have included Reader’s Digest magazine, the International Labour Organization, the Trans Canada Trail, Concordia Magazine, the Canadian Cancer Society, Best Health magazine, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, McGill University, Kids Brain Health Network, Broadview Magazine, the Blue Cross and Ubisoft, among others.

Please feel free to explore some of my clippings, read about my interests and services or get in touch.
