Reporter/Photographer

Jun 2019 - Present
I believe every story matters. That's why I've been in the storytelling business in some capacity - and across multiple platforms - for almost three decades, in daily news as reporter, photographer, editor, videographer; in strategic communications and media relations; and in professional development that's helped make me a leader in communicating events, ideas and trends. I try to honour the advice of an editor who, early in my career, said a journalist's/human's best goal is, 'Do good and do well.'

I connect story-makers with story-tellers. Research breakthroughs, issues, experts, ideas -- you want 'em, I can find 'em, and then together we tell their stories in interesting and creative ways.
