Biography

I'm a data journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation based in Vancouver, Canada. I specialize in unearthing interesting datasets and turning them into exclusive stories for CBC's digital and broadcast platforms. I work on stories that are both national and regionally focused on Canada's West Coast. I am particularly interested in environmental, human rights and social justice issues. Before joining the CBC in February 2017, I spent 10 years in the Vancouver Sun newsroom where I did some data journalism and covered the immigration and refugee beat in addition to general assignment reporting. I have also reported for Postmedia News and its predecessors from Ottawa, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. I have a master's degree in journalism from Carleton University and BA in international relations from the University of B.C. I am proud to have been raised in the beautiful community of Metchosin, B.C., just outside Victoria.
