About
MY BACKGROUND
I have had the great privilege of sharing people’s tremendous stories of challenge, transformation, and opportunity for non-profit organizations across the globe for 14 years.
Born and raised in the middle of the Canadian prairies, I gained my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 2005, then promptly left the country in search of adventure and important stories to tell. Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in non-profit communications for international development and counter-trafficking organizations in Cambodia, Canada, Suriname, Thailand, and the United States, and doing a little freelance and contract work on the side.
Now based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, I bring a strong combination of field and technical experience to non-profit communications plus a passion for adventure, a fierce desire to tell stories ethically, and a bit of fun as well.
