Story and Media Consulting
TORONTO - OTTAWA
I am an award-winning producer, director, and journalist whose work has been featured on CTV's W5, CTV National Specials, Discovery Channel, and TSN. I have produced a wide range of content for international broadcast audiences, brands, and organizations.
I offer comprehensive story and media consulting through Philanthropix Media, focusing on the charitable and foundation sector.
I am always open to new opportunities.
DOCUMENTARY
As a passionate storyteller, I strive 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 program 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 charitable and foundation space.
I offer consulting, seminars, and media services that help build stronger foundations through storytelling.
