I am a journalist, writer and editor based in Calgary, Alberta. My reporting has garnered multiple national awards and nominations, including a National Newspaper Award in long feature writing for a story about my experience as a young widow.

I specialize in writing about health, medicine and social issues.  In over 20 years as a journalist, I’ve written stories about addiction, bereavement and refugee health; firearm violence, safe consumption sites and medical assistance in dying. On the lighter side, I write about things like skiing and traveling and my favourite hairstylist.

My work has twice appeared on Sports Illustrated’s annual list of the best stories of the year (Media Circus: The Best Journalism of 2016, Media Circus: The Best Journalism of 2017).

I received my Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton University (with Combined Honours in History) and a Master’s of Arts (International History) from the London School of Economics.
