    Outreach and reporting lead on the Canadian Index of Wellbeing project, an initiative of the Alliance. The project was developed to broaden the conversation beyond health care to include the many different factors that impact health and wellbeing, and to ultimately promote upstream policies and programs that improve health in Ontario. In this role, I produced evidence-based reports, toolkits and articles that spread knowledge, built awareness, highlighted the programs of member centres and communicated the benefits of using the Index to various stakeholder groups, ranging from project members to policy makers. In addition, I created and produced adjoining multimedia assets: photos, graphics, video, and audio.
