Award Winning Producer - Director
Documentary. Reality. Digital.
Story Consulting and Development.
I am an award winning producer, director and journalist whose work has been featured on CTV's W5, CTV National Specials, Discovery Channel, TSN, and other networks. I have produced a wide range of content for international broadcast audiences, brands, and organizations.
I offer story and media consulting through Philanthropix Media, focusing on the charitable and foundation sector.
I am always open to new opportunities.
DOCUMENTARY
I am a passionate storyteller who wants to make a difference.
A colleague once called me a "Swiss Army knife" for my wide-ranging skills.
Writing, shooting, producing, audio, directing, and story-editing, I'm ready to do whatever it takes to tell the story.
Travelling the world with the country's top current affairs show teaches you a few things about production...and life.
REALITY
I share character driven stories with a focus on positive messaging.
My work has been featured on Canada's most-watched current affairs and the top reality and competition shows.
Through my years in production, I’ve experienced a lot, and I don't take any of it for granted.
Throwing snowballs on top of a volcano in Hawaii, running alongside contestants on The Amazing Race Canada, paddling the flooded rainforests of the Amazon and snowboarding with the Canadian Paralympic Ski Team; I've had some incredible adventures, and I am not finished yet.
PRODUCTION WITH PURPOSE
I have been introduced to some extraordinary people and organizations over the years.
Inspired by their stories, I founded Philanthropix Media, a media and consulting company focused on the charity and foundation space.
I offer consulting, seminars, and media services that help build stronger foundations through storytelling.
PHILANTHROPIX MEDIA
It started with a few trips to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake - trips that changed my life. We followed Dr. John Yates as he fought to help as many people as possible with the limited tools he had available.
What we witnessed was heartbreaking yet inspiring.
Sharing meaningful stories helped me cope and try to make sense of it all.
But there was a part of me that needed to do more, and that feeling weighed on me over the years.
Cut to 2023 - I was deeply inspired while working alongside Rick Hansen and his foundation team. Something clicked, and I knew it was time to step up.
I decided to head down a path I had been putting off for a while.
By the beginning of 2024, I volunteered on a hospital foundation’s marketing and communications committee. I worked alongside incredibly talented people, making a difference in their community.
I knew my skills were making a meaningful contribution, so I continued on my journey.
I spent six months having intensive conversations with leaders in the philanthropic space and learned a lot. I combined that knowledge with my storytelling and journalism skills to create Philanthropix Media, a media and consulting company dedicated to helping charities and foundations.
