  • Feb 2012 - Aug 2013

  Organized people like spreadsheets. I love them. As the research manager on the PROFIT 500, Hot 50 and W100 rankings, I assigned a team of intrepid interviewers in Toronto and Montreal to gather massive quantities of data from company CEOs and presidents, and then managed it into giant Excel spreadsheets for our editorial team. I later collected financial statements from these same busy folks and reviewed them to ensure each company’s eligibility for the rankings. Organized people like spreadsheets. I love them.

My responsibilities included communicating artistic direction to photographers, convincing our client’s customers that they indeed wanted to pose for photos and choosing the final images for the client’s selection.

  • Sep 2009 - Dec 2009

  My internship at This taught me the amazing insanity that is taking a collection of articles and features and turning them into a magazine. Over 4 months, I worked two issues through the production process, from assignments to editing to debates about cover art, and learned the lost art of fact-checking along the way. Highlights were co-writing the February 2010 Olympic games feature package, blogging about Canadian culture and helping plan a launch party event.

  Managing three non-profits taught me to get creative with finite resources and enjoy wearing many hats. As half of a department of two, I handled everything from daily banking and incoming donations to media inquiries and requests for funding. Our charities served three different types of recipients, giving me the opportunity to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
