First Book Canada · The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education at Toronto Metropolitan University
I’ve loved books for as long as I can remember. There’s always been something magical to me about the way a story can transport you somewhere new, introduce you to people you’ll never forget, and make you see the world a little differently. I’ve always known I wanted to be part of the publishing industry, and I’m grateful to have built my education and experience around that passion. I’m a Creative Industries graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University, where I specialized in Publishing, Graphic Design, Professional Communication, and Business, with a minor in Professional Communication. I also completed a Digital Art Production certificate through TMU’s Chang School and am currently continuing my publishing education through its Publishing certificate program. My experience has taken me across editorial, digital publishing, audience research, analytics, communications, and program operations. I completed two internships at First Book Canada before joining the team as a Program Operations Coordinator, where I now support the financial, administrative, and operational work behind literacy and book distribution programs. What I love most about publishing is that every role, even behind the scenes, ultimately contributes to something that can end up in someone’s hands. I understand the impact a book can have because I’ve experienced that magic myself, and I’m excited to keep growing within an industry I’ve loved since I was a little girl.
