WRITING & JOURNALISM
The days are gone when audiences could be expected to wait until tomorrow for today’s news. But even in today’s “digital first” world, the art of impactful storytelling remains a timeless craft. Whether visually or through words, I bring to every challenge a strong news sense, an ability to communicate quickly and accurately, and a knack for building strong working relationships.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of writing as a reporter for Metroland North Media and the Toronto Sun. I’ve also put my writing abilities to use in a public affairs setting with the Toronto Police Service’s Public Information Unit. You can find samples of my written work on this page below.
