Work History

I report on the Hamilton-Niagara region for Canada’s public broadcaster.

From May 2020 to September 2023, I covered current affairs in Hamilton and Niagara for TVO. I produced short videos and appeared on The Agenda With Steve Paikin.

From 2016 to 2022, I co-hosted Radio Free Krypton, a radio show/podcast about comics and the people who make them on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto.

From March 2018 to May 2020, I worked at CBC in Toronto. I worked as a reporter and/or producer for Cross Country Checkup, Day 6, The Current, As It Happens, CBC Music, CBC Arts and CBC’s Sirius XM department.

From July 2016 to April 2022, I co-hosted and produced Radio Free Krypton, a weekly comic book radio show and podcast on CJRU 1280 AM. I managed the show and its social media.

I graduated from the journalism program at Toronto Metropolitan University in June 2018.

In Winter 2018, I worked as a news editor at The Eyeopener, Toronto Metropolitan University’s independent student newspaper. I was a producer on the Eyeopener podcast’s inaugural season.

In Fall 2017, I completed a six-week internship at CBC radio show Day 6.

As part of my fourth year in my journalism program, I worked at the newspaper now called On the Record as an audio producer. I was also a deputy newsroom manager.

I was the business and technology editor at The Eyeopener between May 2016 and May 2017. I've got bylines in the paper's news, biz & tech, features, arts and fun sections going back to September 2014.

I taught swimming and first aid for seven years.
