Resume
I have a thorough understanding of the media landscape and am a top performer in media relations, regularly bringing in the agency’s top earned hits from tier-A media, including CBC the National, CP24 Breakfast, CityNews 680, CTV News and more. Recently, I was solely responsible for a campaign that netted over 34M impressions.
Highly skilled at communicating complex information, I’m responsible for drafting all op-eds and sponsored content for PrescribeIT by Canada Health Infoway, which have been published by tier-A publications including the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun in print and online. They can be seen under the writing section of this site. I’m regularly tapped for accounts with challenging subject matter that are difficult to staff and I have the ability to flex writing styles to match the needs of a given account, be it playful or serious.
