As the network local online managing editor for Global News, I lead a team of reporters across Canada making sure local communities are reflected on globalnews.ca.
Drawing on my professional experience spanning six cities in five provinces, I guide journalists to stories that matter most: ones that amplify local voices, reflect the diversity of our communities and help Canadians better understand the world around them.
In my prior role as network supervising producer for Global News, I coordinated breaking news coverage across platforms and oversaw news content on the Global TV streaming app.
As the sole evening representative of Global’s Network News Desk, I triaged live interview requests from local show producers, provided editorial guidance for reporters and developed coverage plans for major news events.
Previously, I worked with Global Saskatoon for six-and-a-half years as a supervising reporter and anchor. I regularly led coverage for Saskatchewan’s two largest cities, often filing content for markets across Canada and for Global National.
In the aftermath of the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy, I delivered multi-platform coverage for 11 consecutive days, documenting the profound grief of affected families while breaking news about the RCMP’s investigation.
I have also been a central figure in national coverage of high-profile court proceedings, including the trial of Gerald Stanley and the sentencing of a mass shooter who opened fire at a high school in La Loche in January 2016.
Some of my favourite stories have been the lighter ones: playing ping pong with seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease, making Christmas cards with a young boy raising money for a friend and sharing the story of a 96-year-old woman reunited with her wartime love letters.
I also have experience on the desk, most notably as an anchor for Saskatchewan’s provincial and civic elections in 2020.
As a supervising reporter in Saskatoon, I led a small but mighty team of journalists. By the time I left in April 2022, I had hired, trained and mentored every digital broadcast journalist remaining at the station.
Before landing in Saskatchewan’s largest city, I was a reporter and anchor for CKPG News in Prince George, British Columbia. My stories ranged from grassroots community fundraisers to national news events like an inquest into a fatal sawmill explosion and the 2015 Canada Winter Games.
While studying at Red River College and after graduating in 2013, I worked as a radio reporter and a news/sports anchor for 680 CJOB. At the same time, I was also part of a producing team that put together Winnipeg’s number one morning show, CTV Morning Live.
In RRC’s Creative Communications program, I learned from industry professionals in journalism, public relations, advertising and media production.
Outside the classroom, I interned for Canada’s History magazine, where I wrote an award-winning feature on the early history of the National Hockey League. As a Winnipeg Jets superfan, I was also thrilled to join the communications staff of the Jets for the 2012-2013 season.
I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from The University of Winnipeg. My studies at UWinnipeg reinforced my love of writing, not only as an occupation, but also for recreation. A 2012 short story featured in juice, a student-led literary journal, was my first piece of published fiction.
Away from the newsroom, you’d likely find me running, kayaking or camping. On rainy days, I’m just as happy settling in for a movie or spending time with a four-legged friend.
