What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can produce and shape accurate, accessible legal content, mentor junior editors, and work with collaborative teams focused on quality and impact.

I am an experienced legal writer and editor with over a decade producing high-quality, research-driven Canadian legal content for major publishers. I consistently deliver practice notes, checklists, standard documents, and updates tailored for diverse legal audiences.

At Thomson Reuters I authored and maintained resources, incorporated SEO best practices, and collaborated with subject-matter experts to keep content current with legal developments. I also mentored junior editors and managed multiple projects to meet tight deadlines while preserving editorial standards.

My background includes roles as a legal editor and digital content specialist at LexisNexis/Quicklaw, and advocacy work supporting injured workers, demonstrating a blend of technical editorial skill and client-focused advocacy. I have experience liaising with courts and legal professionals to verify and refine content.

I hold legal and related academic credentials and completed specialized training in animal-assisted therapy; I bring strong research, analysis, attention to detail, and clear communication to every project.
