About Me
A bit about me...
I've spent close to a decade in the realm of content creation and strategy. After completing a Journalism baccalaureate in Halifax, I spent a few years as a freelance writer, where I learned a ton about web content strategy and SEO. In 2018, I accepted a position with a Victoria tech company specializing in digital publishing, where I managed the words on multiple websites for more than five years.
When I'm not getting wordy with it, you'll probably find me with my nose deep in speculative fiction, studying for fitness training certifications, or baking (and eating) pretty much anything. If you’re into fiction, I also serially publish my own novel.
I look forward to chatting with you about your content ideas!
