Story-driven Journalist & Content Creator | Using Photography, Video, and Writing to Inspire Connection and Change

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

About

As a multimedia journalist, I specialize in crafting clear, compelling stories that connect communities and elevate the issues that matter. I bring hands-on experience across digital publishing, newsletters, photography, videography, and social strategy—using each medium intentionally to inform audiences and amplify meaningful narratives. With a Master’s in Investigative Journalism, I have a strong foundation in research-driven, multi-format storytelling. My work spans long- and short-form editorial writing, digital newsletters, branded content, promotional video production, documentary filmmaking, and social media assets including reels and photography. I also create strategic marketing and communications content supported by visual storytelling, audience-driven messaging, and cross-platform creative execution. In addition to editorial work, I’ve developed B2B and B2C marketing campaigns for organizations including Hullo Ferries, Prince of Whales Whale & Marine Wildlife Adventures Victoria, Malahat SkyWalk, Team USA Rugby, Rugby Canada, Notorious Run Club, and Dalhousie University—delivering tailored content that supports brand growth, audience engagement, and community impact. Across every project, I combine creative direction, technical production, and storytelling expertise to empower individuals, organizations, and businesses to share impactful stories with clarity and purpose.
