Overview
I’ve been in the digital marketing space for over fifteen years. During this time I’ve built and managed over thirty blogs, newsletters, and websites. In terms of skill set, I am experienced in various content management tools, digital imaging, and advanced SEO techniques. I have formal training in website development, graphic design, and desktop publishing.
In addition to producing digital content for organizations, such as the University of Toronto, and managing blogs for major corporations, I have spearheaded the development of digital and social media initiatives for several academic and governmental organizations. On this page, you will find a sample of my work.

Global Law Firm (2021)
This global law firm required the management of multiple practice-area blogs (mining, insurance, litigation), the production of client-facing digital assets (e.g. proposals, client guides, email “Insights”), and the authoring of a variety of digital content, including practice area descriptions and lawyer profiles. By optimizing posting for audience engagement and proactively managing complex projects, I was able to bring in time-sensitive work on deadline and increase blog views significantly.
