Hey there! I’m a writer, organizer, and communications specialist in Toronto.

I have over twelve years of experience directing communications for progressive causes, organizations, and political campaigns.

I’ve worked with dozens of nonprofit organizations to hone their messaging and build public support for more equitable social policy. I specialize in issues of gender justice, community health, and income inequality, and have an extensive background supporting communications and media relations for grassroots advocacy groups.

I’m a graduate of the University of Toronto, the Maytree Policy School, and the Institute for Change Leaders, and am a former member of the United Way Speakers Bureau. These days, I also sit on the Steering Committee of the Davenport Community Land Trust and manage communications for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival.

See below for a selection of my work. You can also find me at Evenings + Weekends Consulting.
