TL;DR: I'm good at comms. Battle-tested, professional, and proficient. A long-time creative, I write fun(ny), informative, highly-clickable copy that centers on science, curio news, food, fashion, finance, travel, wellness, and the trends you should be aware of right meow (or now if you're a dog person with a formal bent). I've also produced and hosted multiple web series. In my career, I've worked with Sid Lee, LG2, HRVST, and created cobranding spots for clients with TD Wealth Management, Coca-Cola, Sports Experts, and Canadian Tire. My work has appeared on billboards, TV, radio, the homepage of the CBC, Business Insider, enRoute magazine, and AskMen, garnering hundreds of thousands of online views and considerable shares for stakeholders.At Air Canada Vacations, I generated sales-targeted marketing copy that made folks want to see the sweetest places on Earth; and earlier in my career as a Senior Marketing Analyst for a large financial institution, my work yielded numerous awards — one of which was an award of excellence in internet advertising from the Web Marketing Association. As a digital producer for CBC/Radio Canada in Toronto, I worked on media for the Sochi Olympics which resulted in a Digi Award for Branded Content (The Olympians, CBC).I live and breathe media and communications — acting gigs and voice work take up a fair bit of my spare time and I can boast professional experience as a host for an online men's mag and as a trusted PR liaison for Just for Laughs.Still, the written word and creative ideation remain my specialty. From taglines to articles to scripts to blogs to stand up to advertorials to speeches to powerful calls to action, I write strong copy. Plus, I grill a pretty mean salmon; and know far more than I'd like to about manscaping. The former is unrelated to the latter. Oh, and I've done stand-up, know how to drive a forklift, and can tell you "I'm Canadian, not American" in Japanese. Aside from pushing out consistently tight copy, voice work, digital video content production, idea generation, brand marketing, public relations, performing live or on camera, and story editing are all things at which I excel. Ultimately, if you need a solid storyteller — I'm your human.
