About Me

If they’re going to spend time with you, you’d better make it worthwhile. 

As an award-winning broadcaster, digital content creator, print contributor, and live entertainer, I am passionate about crafting stories that connect, inform, and inspire. My journey began in stand-up comedy, performing at Toronto’s Yuks Yuk’s, which led me to radio, where I hosted shows at some of Canada’s top stations. Those years honed my skills and prepared me for television, where I’ve had the privilege of being welcomed into the homes of audiences across Canada as part of powerhouse trusted newsrooms, including CTV, Global, The Weather Network, and CBC News Network. From covering compelling stories to regularly co-hosting CTV’s legendary Canada AM, I’ve always prioritized creating meaningful connections with viewers.

Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for innovation and versatility, finding fresh, engaging ways to reach audiences. My original projects have engaged more than 1.5 million viewers from around the world. With over 1,000 live reports from diverse locations in the GTA, I’m equally at home in traditional live broadcasts or #LIVEstreams on social media, always focused on delivering impactful content that stands out.

That includes carving a new path in the digital world. One of the highlights is Knight in the Morning, North America’s first mobile Facebook Live morning show, where I developed produced and hosted over 100 lively and topical episodes that engaged viewers across six continents and earned a Bravo Award nomination from Bell Media (CTV) for innovation and engagement.

Building on that success, I launched Here n’ There, a 30-minute Facebook Live program that took viewers on a weekly road trip to uncover the people, places, and wonders that make communities special. Through drone videography, graphics, animations and real-time interaction,  Here n’ There  built a loyal following and created new ways to connect in the digital world. Most recently, I developed and hosted Queen’s Park After Dark, the first-ever livestream ghost tour for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario—a groundbreaking digital production that brought the historic landmark’s stories to life in a unique and interactive way.

Beyond my professional work, I am a dedicated supporter of charitable and non-profit initiatives and a proud eco-ambassador. Above all, my drive to make a positive impact is inspired by my two greatest achievements—my children—and a commitment to creating a better world for the generations to come.
