I am an Online Video Journalist for Global News, a multi-faceted media organization in Canada. If I'm not on the soccer field, I'm probably curled up in bed reading a good Bill Bryson book. As a volunteer with the Communications team at Voluntario Global, I learned the ins and outs of multi-media productions, writing about difficult topics, and I improved my Spanish-speaking interview skills. Interns was great, and one of my favourite parts of this adventure! My favourite work I did was on The Projects, a web series developed by the other interns and me to explore the stories behind the wonderful organisations Voluntario Global works with.
I was born in Canada and studied at Carleton University.
