My Story

Writing and art have been the two things I’ve always come back to, even when I wasn’t sure what to do with them. In high school and university, I kept moving between the two, taking studio classes, then writing-heavy ones, feeling pulled in both directions without really knowing how they fit together.

​

That started to change when I found art history. What began as a few upper-year electives turned into a Master’s degree, and for the first time, it felt like those interests were actually in conversation with each other. I was studying visual culture, but I was also writing constantly. I was learning how to interpret, translate, and share ideas in a way that felt accessible.

​

Near the end of my program, I took on a placement with a community-owned arts organization based in Nunavut, working with their sales team in Toronto. It was my first real look at how arts organizations operate behind the scenes, and how much outreach and communication shapes what people see and understand about their work.

​

That experience stuck with me. It made me realize that the work I enjoyed most wasn’t just analyzing or creating -- it was helping connect people to ideas and projects that might otherwise go unnoticed.

​

Since then, I’ve worked across non-profits, community organizations, and lifestyle media, often juggling a mix of projects at once. Whether I’m writing grants, shaping reports, building email campaigns, or planning social content, I’m drawn to work that has something real behind it.

​

Essentially, I’m still doing the same thing I’ve always done -- bringing together writing and visual thinking. Now it just has a clearer purpose: using storytelling to help meaningful work reach the people it’s meant for.
