I have served the health, education, government and tech sectors in B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Yukon Territory as a professional writer, editor, and communicator. I have worked with national entities such as the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, Canada Health Infoway and Habitat for Humanity Canada. As for international experience, managing media relations in Canmore, Alberta, for CTV, host broadcaster of the Calgary Winter Olympics, remains a career highlight.

While my education stems from various sources, my formal studies include business administration with the continuing education unit at the University of Alberta and programs offered by Service Canada. I completed Banff Centre’s renowned magazine publishing program through the support of Alberta Culture and loved working with a team of people, including publishers, editors, comms folk, to create a new Canadian history magazine as our capstone project. A lifelong learner, I graduated from VCC’s Provincial Instructor Diploma Program in 2021, completed Alacrity Academy’s digital marketing bootcamp and CRM courses in 2024 + 2025, and continue to learn in various ways as a member of Editors Canada since 2018.

On staying current

This is perhaps the greatest challenge for professional communicators – staying current with industry trends and digital tools. Reading the news every day is my solution. I am currently drawn to various sources on how A.I. is altering our work world. Coverage tackles various angles in business, education, lifestyles, as well as the law. Take a moment to read this New York Times opinion piece by Julia Angwin on why she’s suing Grammarly for using A.I. to profit from her name (and several others) without consent, published March 13, 2026 . Ms. Angwin is an investigative journalist with a focus on tech policy and the impact of tech on society. She is also founder of ProofNews and The Markup, which I love.
