What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that offers a dynamic and creative work environment, where I can continue to leverage my skills in content creation, strategic planning, and team management. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to make a significant impact on brand recognition and audience engagement.

A decade in journalism, complemented by recent years of success in the digital marketing sector.

Recently led the strategic direction and growth strategy for a dotCOMM award winning video news application, Kelowna10, scaling to over 175,000 unique users in 24 months in a mid-sized Canadian market.

Prior, I managed efforts to streamline seven nightly newscasts across three major Canadian cities out of a single control room with industry leading MMC broadcasting strategies with Global News & Corus Entertainment.

During my time in journalism, I covered major national and international events, including three federal elections, two provincial elections, the Humboldt Broncos tragedy, the COVID-19 pandemic, the landmark Gerald Stanley trial, and cannabis legalization in Canada.
