More about me
I'm an award-winning journalist interested in everything from designing equitable cities to music from the African diaspora.

I fell in love with community radio nearly 10 years ago and have been working in audio storytelling ever since. I'm currently producing and reporting narrative podcasts. I worked at CBC Montreal for 3 years as a producer, associate producer, web writer, social media editor, and occasional on-air columnist. I've been a freelance audio producer and researcher since 2020, working with clients such as the CBC's Black on the Prairies project, CBC Podcasts, Historica Canada, Monument Lab, University Affairs Magazine, and more.

I'm very proficient in audio editing (especially Adobe Audition) and I'd love to gain more experience in narrative non-fiction.
