Content Creation, Editing, Production & Code

Interactive Digital Content Creation

I have designed, coded and upgraded dozens of websites and digital marketing campaigns for small businesses, non-profit organizations, university departments, artists of all kinds, film promotions and event marketing. I'm currently a fullstack developer working on a project to help people collaborate.

Film & Television

In 20 years in the film and television industry, I have served as a producer, line producer, production manager, assistant director and script supervisor. My most recent project is a documentary on immigration policy called Seeking Solutions.

Passionflower, a feature film I produced, spent three years at festivals winning awards, then went on to Canadian television and digital streaming worldwide. I served as the associate producer and writer for a season of the GLBTQ travel show Bump.

I attended the Canadian Film Centre's Television Writing Program, and took a feature project to the National Screen Institute's Features First program.

Journalism

I've worked as a journalist and editor for publications in Canada and the U.S. for 20 years. I was a writer and digital producer for the Denver Post's Cannabist, the nation's first cannabis industry vertical in a city newspaper. I then wrote on data-driven topics for Marijuana Moment.

Previously, I was the news and books editor at Perimeter magazine in Winnipeg, Canada. I was also an editor and long-time writer for Prairie Books Now.
