Let’s make something thoughtful, memorable—and maybe a little bit funny.

I’m an experienced host and interviewer who’s curious, collaborative, and not afraid to roll up my sleeves—whether that means writing scripts or jumping into a lively onstage conversation. I’ve hosted events like the National Magazine Awards, the Toronto Reference Library’s annual fundraiser Bibliobash, and Azure Magazine’s AZ Awards, among others.

For the past two years, I’ve also hosted Milk Masters, a cooking competition sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario. It’s been a blast—and I even received a writer’s credit.

I’m a regular interviewer for the Toronto Public Library’s Salon Series, where I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with authors such as Rachel Kushner, Kim Thúy, Candace Bushnell, and Emily Henry.

On social media, I’ve partnered with a range of brands and love creating content—especially reels that combine humour, heart, and a clear message. Past collaborations include IKEA, Visa Canada, Stella Artois, and Vichy.

I'm especially excited to work with brands in the areas of home & garden, pets, food, and travel.

If you're looking for a host for your upcoming event or a creative partner to help tell your brand’s story, I’d love to hear from you.
