I have a Master of Arts in Journalism from the University of Western Ontario (2005) and have over four years of experience working as a reporter/photographer for newspapers and magazines across Canada. I just recently returned to my hometown of Vancouver after working as a full-time reporter/photographer in Ontario for some five years. I also have years of experience providing language editing services for clients in the home development and scientific research sectors.
I thrive in fast-paced media environments. As a journalist, I have made and developed my own contacts and cultivated professional relationships with many people. My daily work involves interviewing people from all walks of life, investigating all areas of news, and producing tight, fluid articles quickly. I have covered everything from council meetings and municipal planning issues to sports and entertainment.
I have a global perspective and, as a writer, enjoy localizing national and international issues. I was brought up in a bilingual (Spanish), multicultural environment, and have a keen interest and knowledge of various cultural scenes. After completing my B.A., I spent a year in Barcelona, Spain, working as a translator (Spanish to English) and an English teacher, offering consulting services to both high school students and mature professionals.
