Oh, hello

I’ve created podcasts and audio documentaries with Canada’s National Observer, Crackdown, Cited Media Productions, CBC Uncover and CBC Vancouver.

As a journalist with a decade of experience, my work has topped iTunes charts and won national awards. I love science reporting, narrative nonfiction, and stories that surprise.

I spent eight years working with CBC Radio stations across Canada, where I covered everything from breaking news to climate change to Vancouver’s queer history.

Once, over the phone, I helped a listener get a raccoon out of his attic.

When we work together, I can’t promise that your attic will be rodent-free, but I can promise high quality results.

My skills include feild recording, producing and hosting podcast series, researching, script writing, directing live radio shows, daily news reporting, editorial assistance, client management, fact-checking, audio editing and taking care of IP-clearances.

I’m also a horticultural student with an interest in sustainable agriculture, native plant gardening and beekeeping.

See my CV here.

 

You can hire me for producing, hosting, reporting, editing, research, and tape-syncs.
