About
Let’s meet
A Harvard, Cambridge, Carleton, Queen’s and soon-to-be Oxford alumnus, I’m a senior editor, and marketing and communications executive. I speak 4 languages and have lived in 6 countries. I love what I do and have built a truly rewarding career over the last 19+ years, spanning media, not-for-profit and corporate sectors. My specialties include transformational leadership, diversity and inclusion, brand architecture and strategic planning that is KPI-driven. I have directly created and/or executed 6 organization-wide Strategic Plans, written speeches for award-winning CEOs, rebranded organizations from top to bottom, helped my employers win multiple awards, and worked on many campaigns that went viral on social media. I’ve also successfully led large communication portfolios through periods of strikes, work-to-rule and the pandemic in both the education and healthcare sectors. I tell stories that matter and create change.
