I worked on the second season of the hit Cineflix production Secrets of the Morgue which is now airing on Investigation Discovery in the U.S. Each day I attended story meetings where I was expected to pitch new stories that would work for the format of our show. Four of the stories I pitched received green-lighting from the EP and were made into episodes for the second season. In addition to learning about story development I was exposed to the full production pipeline from research all the way to story editing in post-production. I also had the opportunity to shadow executives to learn about distribution, financing, development, and corporate strategy.

The Creative Clubhouse was a not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to connecting creative communities within the urban setting. We provided an open and transformable space for the practice of many different art forms, to allow collaboration of artist within different trades and to bridge the gap between individual demographics and scenes within Edmonton. The organization was founded by myself and two other directors who were passionate about improving the Edmonton arts community any way we could. The space we operated was used by painters, graffiti artists, filmakers, dancers, musicians, poets, and curators to create works of art, practice their craft, perform, or share knowledge with other artists. Our space was an Alberta Culture Days host site for two years in a row and organized an urban arts music festival called YEGfest in Western Canada's largest outdoor amphitheatre. My work with The Creative Clubhouse and in the Arts and Culture community lead to my appointment to the Premier's Council on Culture.
