Bio
Bronwyn Graves
I was Eli's direct manager for three years, in his capacity as Managing Editor for The Canadian Encyclopedia and Content Manager for multiple video and podcast projects at Historica Canada. Eli's skillset balances a nuanced understanding of Canadian history with an ability to craft content effectively to meet the needs of the medium and audience. He is an exceptional writer, researcher and storyteller, but also a skilled manager, able to lead large and complex projects. As a leader, Eli inspires the trust and confidence of his staff; he is a strong team builder who can lead effectively through challenging situations. Eli is also adept at managing complex stakeholder relations with sensitivity and tact. I unreservedly recommend Eli as an asset to any team.
Jaclyn Law
Eli was recommended to me by another editor. He has proven to be an efficient and careful researcher, and his assistance has been invaluable for the production of the past three issues of EcoLiving Magazine. I am confident in his abilities and would not hesitate to recommend him or use his services again.
