I am a freelance journalist with experience in print, online, broadcast, and film.
My writing appears mostly on Torontoist, one of the most widely read blogs in the city. I’ve also had bylines in OpenFile, The Grid, and Tonight.
I like stories about cities, politics and the radio. I’ve written stories about community radio stations, by-elections, and War of 1812 re-enactors.
Outside of writing, I’ve done volunteer work with The Internet Archive and LibriVox, Nexos Voluntarios and Canada World Youth.
Inspirations include Ira Glass, Dick Cavett, Kurt Vonnegut, Beyonce, Joan Didion, Katherine Hepburn, Jay-Z, Denise Donlon, Moses Znaimer, Mordecai Richler, Alice Munro, Nicholas D. Kristof, Sheryl WuDunn, Jane Austen, Malcolm Gladwell, David Remnick, Marie Antoinette, my parents, Sidney Lumet, Nuala O’Faolain, Amy Goodman, June Callwood, and Tina Fey.
