Welcome.

I am a writer and editor with more than 20 years of communications experience in

education, the arts, cultural heritage, sustainable urban development and health. 

​

I began my career as a teacher at a First Nations school. Other career highlights 

have included seven years as a magazine writer for the National Gallery of Canada,

and the editing and management of content for historical exhibitions curated by 

Library and Archives Canada.

​

My unique mix of analytical and creative ability has served to make me a highly

versatile writer and editor. I have created diverse content for different purposes and

audiences. Examples include:

​

  • translating employment and labour market research into clear, accessible prose;

  • conveying visual artists’ forays into the surreal, the symbolic and the mythic;  

  • writing successful grant proposals that secured significant funding for innovation in postsecondary education. 

​

My services have supported the work of cultural agencies, publicly funded colleges and universities, a First Nations heritage centre, arts organizations, foundations and international development banks.


I welcome new clients including educators, historians, museum specialists and Indigenous organizations working in health, education and environmental advocacy.
