Hi there!

I am a writer, copy editor, media relations specialist and journalist, currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal.

My very first piece of writing was published in my primary school’s newsletter when I was seven years old.

Naturally, it was about unicorns.

Thankfully, my creative and professional endeavours have improved with age.  

Since then, I earned bylines in the Irish Independent, The Herald, The Irish Times, Montreal Rampage and other titles before my mid-twenties.

Straight after university, I joined the Irish Independent and The Herald as a full-time news reporter – becoming a seasoned journalist, feature writer and interviewer in the process.

After moving from Ireland to Canada, I brought my skills from the newsroom to the non-profit sector and served as a content writer, copy editor and communications advisor at Trans Canada Trail for three years.

Being able to tell stories for all kinds of audiences has always been my goal. Since dipping my toes into freelancing in early 2021, I have been proud to work with The ISPCC, Tree Canada, among other amazing organisations.

By now, you’ve probably noticed that I’m using UK/Irish spelling. But don’t panic – I’m also at ease with The Canadian Press Style and AP Style, among other style guides.

For me, journalism, copy editing and storytelling are not mere “career paths”; they are vocations that I couldn’t imagine my life without. Outside of work, I have been honoured to tell stories for fantastic events like Confabulation and Yarn.
