Claim your profileI'm a resourceful and detail-oriented journalist focused on the crossroads of entertainment and business news. -- As a journalist at The Canadian Press news agency I'm expected to move quickly and with precision on a number of beats, while also responding to the day's breaking news coverage. I have covered BlackBerry, banking and retail beats, and handled major national business stories like the winding down of both Canwest and Nortel. But my expertise expands beyond these borders and into the business of the entertainment industry, as well as on-camera work and video editing skills. I'm also a frequent contributor to Hollywood trade Variety where I've reported extensively on both up-and-coming talent, as well as major trends the Canadian film industry. My experience spans more than 15 years in both print and online journalism and I played an instrumental role in the creation of Entertainment Online, a website dedicated to the film and music industry, which launched in the early days of Internet news. In each position I've demonstrated a tenacity for chasing the big stories and delivering news under tight deadlines. If there's a challenge on a beat, my goal is to attack it with consistency and deliver the story in a unique and compelling way.
