CONTENT MARKETING + TECH
FOR MY ‘DAYJOB’, I CREATE STRATEGIC CONTENT — FROM WEBSITES TO PUBLICATIONS TO CHANGE MANAGEMENT COMMS — FOR AGENCIES, ENTERPRISES, AND BRANDS. I’VE PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS SENIOR EDITORIAL MANAGER AT QUIETLY MEDIA, WHERE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPED CONTENT.
THESE DAYS, I TAKE ON A FEW LONG-TERM CONTRACTS AT A TIME FOR DIGITAL PRODUCT SHOPS, TECH COMPANIES, NON-PROFITS, ARTS ORGS, AND INDIVIDUALS.
I HAVE A MASTER’S DEGREE IN NEW MEDIA AND DIGITAL CULTURE, AND AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN B2B TECH. I’VE ARTICULATED INNOVATION MANDATES FOR BIG 4 FIRMS, ROLLED OUT EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS FOR FORTUNE 500s, AND MORE. FOR BETTER OR WORSE, I CAN SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF AI, BLOCKCHAIN, AND THE METAVERSE.

GHOSTWRITING
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP I’VE PRODUCED HAS BEEN FEATURED IN THE GLOBE & MAIL, FORBES, BUSINESS BC, AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS. I HAVE A KNACK FOR CUTTING THROUGH BUSINESS MUMBLE-JUMBLE AND HELPING YOU ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING TO YOUR AUDIENCES. IF YOU NEED HELP CRYSTALLIZING YOUR THOUGHTS ON INDUSTRY TRENDS OR POSITIONING YOURSELF AS A LEADER IN YOUR FIELD, I CAN HELP.
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE SPEAKER - CONTENT MARKETING/FREELANCE SME
I’VE HAD ONE OF THOSE WEIRD CAREERS WHERE WRITING HAS TAKEN ME EVERYWHERE FROM FORTUNE-500 BOARDROOMS TO IQALUIT, NUNAVUT.
I LOVE SPEAKING TO HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ON WHERE THEIR PASSION FOR WRITING CAN TAKE THEM. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN BRINGING ME IN TO SPEAK TO YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT CONTENT MARKETING, WRITING, THOUGHT LEADERSHIP, GHOSTWRITING, SMALL-PRESSES, ART-ACTIVISM, AND/OR BUILDING A FREELANCE CAREER, I AM OPEN TO PAID SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND/OR CREATING CUSTOMIZED WORKSHOPS + ASSETS FOR YOUR CLASSROOMS .
