About me
I’ve spent 20+ years telling stories, from red carpets and press junkets to brand blogs and content strategy.
I founded TheTelevixen.com in 2008 to cover TV from a woman’s perspective, launched Fem TV to spotlight women in the television industry, and wrote for outlets like PEOPLE, Food Network Canada, HGTV Canada, and Paste Magazine.
I’ve since brought that same instinct for a good story into content marketing, working with brands like Walmart Canada, Choice Hotels and Voices.com to create work that informs, engages, and builds trust with an audience.
What hasn’t changed is my eye for the human angle, whether I’m writing a lifestyle feature or shaping a brand’s voice.
Toronto-based and always up for live music, a great meal, a good book, or a TV series worth bingeing. If there’s a trip in the works, I’ve probably already made the itinerary.
