Get to know me

Communicating has always been one of my greatest joys and strengths.

My career in writing began outside the ad world, in translation. Until I discovered that copywriting could offer the things I loved about translating (pulling an idea apart and putting it back together in a way that resonates with a new audience), along with some added bonuses (conceptual and strategic thinking, fewer dictionaries).

After earning an Advertising Copywriting Post-Grad Certificate from Humber College, I’ve been flexing these skills on projects that span industries, media, moments, and objectives. Filming improv comedy spots with trained canine performers. Editing recipes from top chefs. Rebranding brands. Launching a podcast.

And like any avid communicator, I’m always up for talking about what I do.
