I’m an award-winning journalist currently helping to train future ink-stained wretches in Centennial College’s journalism programs at the Story Arts Centre in Toronto. I’ve also taught in the Graphic Design program and been a guest in a variety of other programs to talk about WordPress and other web-related topics.

I’ve worked as a reporter, photographer and online editor at weekly newspaper Vaughan Today and Toronto’s Town Crier group of community papers (since reborn as Streeter), and as a freelance web editor for Metro News.

Between graduating from Centennial College’s post-grad journalism program in the spring of 2007 and joining Vaughan Today a few months later, I freelanced for the National Post, where I was an intern during j-school.

My work has appeared in print, online and on TV, including in the National Post, the Toronto Star, cbc.ca, the fifth estate, the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals 25th Anniversary Commemorative Magazine and kapiTal Magazine (which, to be honest, was a school project).

Before j-school, I completed an Honours BA in archaeology from the University of Toronto and worked in the new media business of creating websites.
