About me: Deep professional knowledge. The ability to use resources efficiently and to get on with others. A sense of moral purpose and responsibility. A commitment to supporting and caring about the success of others - and that includes helping them navigate the new world of generative ai. I hold a Masters in Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology from the University of Waterloo. What I do:I help people understand what is happening at the University of Waterloo. What our researchers are doing, what our students are doing and how our researchers are helping to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We're not just watching the future unfold; we're the ones building it.I am a writer and thinker. I specialize in telling stories about people, organizations, and ideas. These days I am telling stories about the people at Waterloo Engineering, the University as a whole as well as our alumni and industry partners. My award-winning writing fuels fundraising efforts that enhance the UWaterloo student experience, research, and outreach, ensuring our impact is both profound and far-reaching. I've written for some of the world's most popular brands and biggest organizations. As a strategist and consultant, I share insight culled from diverse industries and cross-pollinate ideas that help propel people forward. For the last few years, I have been deeply immersed in AI and how it can democratize innovation.I have worked as a journalist; PR specialist, senior copywriter, and freelancer since before there were Macs. (Those were the dark years.) I suppose you could say I am "experienced" yet, every day, I learn something new and marvel at how much I don't know. This is what inspires me to keep searching for knowledge - it's endless and never boring. I am a generalist with some deeply weird digital interests who is highly connected to a global community. If it's writing, I most likely have done it. Or will do it. Unless it's bad for the environment. Or it hurts people or is terribly boring. No fast food, firearms, or fanaticism here—just writing with heart and smarts. (BTW, this profile written without the aid of generative ai, although my next version might be. It has to catch up to my personal style, which I am training it to do.)
