From ideation to execution, my work is like a mosaic. The pieces have come together since launching my career over 15 years ago as a multimedia journalist deep within the Toronto Heavy Metal community. Since then, my roots have expanded acros Canada and around the world, approaching my work within arts, culture, design and community, focused on limitless opportunities for innovative creativity. As an award-winning public relations, marketing and communications professional, I understand the power of images and words, and know that meaningful communication is an impetus for connection to cultivate strong communities and build relationships. During my near decade tenure as a music publicist, I supported numerous domestic and international artists and bands - from their first release, to EGOT, Grammy, Polaris and JUNO Award-winning - get their music to keen audiences and relevant media, sharing their work with resonant zeal and creating social change through their sounds. My experience in cultural programming and community projects began in my late teens at McMichael Canadian Art Collection, where I helmed an award-winning accessibility & inclusion initiative and authored the ancillary publication that documented this process. I build from the ground up and have developed many personal ventures - which includes hosting & producing podcasts. My media and consultation platform, Sonic Fold, and its subsidiary series, The Fold & Sound Travels, champion people, artists and organizations cultivating community and connection in unique and diverse ways.When I'm not pursuing the above, I am an all-vinyl selectress with radio residencies in New York and Miami, performing across Toronto, or digging for records locally and abroad. I am also the Co-Founder of Trust The Process Press, a print matter project and zine publisher dedicated to creating and uplifting works that champion mind, body and soul through an artistic lens.
