About Me
Good journalism starts with listening — really listening. To people, to systems, to the quiet spaces in between.
I got my start in high school, writing for The Chatham Daily News. Since then, my path has zig-zagged through the Canadian Armed Forces, the film industry, and raising two kids before I returned to school at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson). I graduated with distinction in 2022.
While still a student, I covered the Minassian trial as a stringer for The New York Times. What began as one courthouse shift turned into steady work through the rest of my degree. After graduation, I joined CBC’s investigative team at The Fifth Estate, then moved to CTV to work with W5. My reporting and photography have also appeared in Canada’s National Observer, where I explore national and systemic issues.
I’m a multimedia journalist — I write, take photos, code, record, and, when I can, listen in French too. I’m drawn to stories that reveal how complex systems shape everyday lives and how empathy helps us make sense of them.
Because in the end, everything I do comes back to listening — patiently, curiously, and with care.
