about

Hello! I’m an award-winning producer, story editor, and journalist with a penchant for rich, narrative storytelling.

I’ve always gravitated toward stories that find meaning in the mundane; stories that draw on the power of collective memory to help us better understand each other.

I’ve worked on numerous projects at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), including the critically acclaimed true-crime series Someone Knows Something, and the country’s most-listened-to daily news program The Current.

I was part of the third cohort of Neon Hum Media Editors’ Bootcamp, a training program designed to teach the craft of story editing for limited-run narrative series. I’ve spoken about podcasting and audio storytelling in classrooms and conferences in Canada, the U.S., and South Korea, at events such as PodCamp and Resonate Podcast Festival.
