I'm a multimedia journalist who's interested in humans who are passionate and knowledgeable about things I love — and things I'm yet to learn about. As a CBC News summer scholar, I'm filing across TV, radio and web at CBC Yukon, previously producing radio segments at the Current

I have more than 300 bylines across homelessness, election nights, Parliamentary affairs, social issues, arts and more. I’ve worked as a breaking news reporter for the Ottawa Citizen and the Toronto Star, with additional placements at the Globe and Mail, CBC News in Montreal and Canada’s National Observer. My fact-checking work appears in Maisonneuve Magazine, Maclean’s and others. I also spent two years as a communications officer with the federal public service.

 

I hold an honours bachelor’s degree in journalism and law from Carleton University, graduating in the top 3 per cent of my class. I've also received numerous scholarships and awards for my academics and writing skills. I served as an arts, news, and managing editor at the Charlatan, the university's student-led newspaper. In 2026, I won a national student journalism award for continued coverage on the university's financial deficit.

When I'm not reporting, I enjoy travelling the world, catching up on my “to watch movies” list and folding origami ducks. To me, there’s nothing more rewarding than a life rife with stories.
