I currently work in Toronto as a journalist for CBC's Street Cents team. We help make money stuff make sense for Gen Z, on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

I'm interested in stories that illuminate the human condition, that explain why society works as it does, and most of all, stories that explore how the world could be, with a little imagination. It's what led me to produce a podcast on piano keyboards made especially for people with small hands, or to explore how cyclists have died in Montreal. 

Film photography holds a dear place in my heart. One of my favourite projects is the week I spent documenting life on the Toronto Islands with a Hasselblad CW and a mix of medium format films. If you're wondering about my website background, it's a photo of Christie Pits park in Toronto shot with a tilt shift lens. ​ 

My work has appeared on CBC.ca, as well as Maclean’s, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, the Winnipeg Free Press, and the West End Phoenix. I have worked as a stringer for Agence France-Presse. In 2013, I earned a Silver Canadian Online Publishing Award for producing and moderating the CBC Human Library project, with guests including Margaret Trudeau, Robert Munsch and Shad.
