I am a journalist, currently based in Vancouver B.C., and working for a television station.
I have a Masters of International Journalism from City University in London, U.K., and have worked in print and online journalism prior to working in TV.
In my spare time I love to read, travel and spend time with my family.
In my current role as online supervisor for Global BC, I oversee a team of online journalists in Burnaby, Victoria and Kelowna. I support them in their work, train interns and new hires, design and execute the online coverage for special projects and events, manage workflows and schedules and work with managers, reporters and online journalists in B.C. and across the country. I also write stories for the website and present news stories live on the air for our TV audiences.
Here are some examples of my work over the years. I have provided links to some of the pieces of which I am most proud.
This is part one of a series of stories I wrote on stillborn births in B.C. I spoke to parents about losing a child and what they wanted the world to know. In this part I spoke to multiple families about their loss.
In part two I focused on talking to the fathers about their experiences with infant loss. The dads opened up to me about how they supported their partner and what they went through during the most difficult time in their lives.
The series also branched out to include stories of how those who have lost children were now helping others deal with their pain. I put together a special page for the parents who wanted to share their stories with others to help them heal and let them know they are not alone.
