That’s me shooting for APTN National News in British Columbia in 2018.
Rewind a few decades to when I was 20 and didn’t yet realize I was creative—until a cheap second-hand camera changed my life. It was like magic, and it still is. Looking through that lens made my mind dance, inspiring me to create images and tell stories of all kinds.
Over the years, I’ve travelled across Canada working on major TV productions, news programs, and creative campaigns. I’ve produced biographies for MuchMoreMusic, shot breaking news for CTV and APTN, written articles for news agencies and nonprofits, developed digital strategies and branding for organizations and businesses, and captured still photography and video for television, print, social media, and marketing campaigns.
After living in Ontario for most of my life, my passion for nature and wildlife eventually pulled me to British Columbia, where a growing part of my work has focused on Indigenous rights, climate change, and conservation.
Whether I’m covering complex issues in the field as a video journalist, crafting a press release that gains national attention, or styling food and visual content to attract new audiences, I’m always driven by creativity, connection, and strong storytelling.
