Resume
Media relations and corporate communications professional with a proven track record delivering national campaigns and securing high-impact earned coverage across Tier-A outlets. Frequently brought in to strengthen media strategy, sharpen campaign POVs, and support programs requiring strategic pivots or additional reinforcement. Most recently, I led media relations for a major donation announcement to The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, securing press conference attendance from CTV, CBC, CP24, CityNews, and Global, and generating more than 300 media hits and 134.8 million impressions, including live broadcast on CP24 and interviews across all major national networks.
​
A strong researcher and versatile writer, I specialize in translating complex subject matter into clear, compelling narratives for media, stakeholders, and thought leadership. I’m often tapped for high-stakes or challenging accounts, with the ability to adapt tone and approach to suit different industries, audiences, and moments.
​
I’ve drafted 10+ op-eds published in Tier-A outlets including the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun, in print and online. Selected pieces are available in the writing section of this site.
