I have written for many magazines, including The Walrus, ROB, Broadview, This, Canadian Living, Geez and Today's Parent. My first book, Highrise (Firefly, 2019), has been nominated for a 2020 Forest of Reading Award.
While my interests are broad, my passion is to write about human rights issues both at home and overseas. I have travelled the globe to cover stories in Niger, Uganda, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico.

I’m a storyteller with an insatiable curiosity. In the past 20 years, I’ve applied my editing and writing skills to print, digital and broadcast for both media outlets and non-profit organizations. I'm honoured to have picked up a few awards along the way.

“Highrise is an exceptional guided tour of skyreaching residential structures around the globe... The innovative interactive storytelling that distinguishes the online documentary translates well to print.” Linda Ludke, Quill and Quire
“It's just excellent and really, really interesting. I'm so proud of you. I'm always proud of you, but this beats them all.” Mom
