If we meet on an elevator you'll enjoy some fantastic small talk and probably walk away with a smile. 

You know how they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Well,  I'm the spitting image of my mother and I act like her too. Fast-talking,  quick-witted and the life of the party. 

​

I work hard and I move fast. If I don't know something I'll tell you, I want to learn and improve.  I crave constructive criticism. I believe doing is better than perfect, but I like to get as close to perfection as possible. 

​

When all is said and done, I want to look back on my life and know I took chances and made a difference.

​

Growing up in a Georgian Bay cottage, swimming and boating were my favourite pastimes. This led me to the local pool where I became a lifeguard and swimming instructor.

Following my passion for the written word, I studied English and Journalism. After graduating I found a job that married my background in aquatics with my education and from there an exciting career in digital media blossomed.

​

Digital media combines many things I love:

• Making connections with people

• Helping others

• Telling a story

• Being creative

• It's never boring, no two days are the same

• The only limits in digital media are those you put upon yourself

• With family - laughing, talking, maybe enjoying a glass of wine. 

• Baking with my toddler - I'm brave like that.

• Hurrying hard at the Whitby Curling Club with my husband.

• Getting immersed in a story, be it podcast, tv show or book.

• Learning and growing both personally and professionally.

• Practicing guitar and trying my hand at sewing.

• Teaching first aid and lifeguarding.

• Snapping a photo, usually of my daughters or dog.

​

• Developing effective, goal-oriented digital media strategies through internal staff consultations, on-going research and targeted data analysis to support and enhance marketing and communications efforts.

• Creative thinking and the ability to develop fresh, new digital ideas to achieve organizational goals.

• Telling compelling stories using digital metrics.

• Leading and inspiring others by creating an open environment where new ideas are welcomed, and problems are faced head-on and resolved with tact and compassion.

• Coaching staff by identifying opportunities, supporting growth and recognizing improvements and successes.
