Portfolio
I knew I’d be a writer by the age of four, when I’d staple together colourful pages to make books, complete with illustrations but using only scribbles as words. I was a writer, not a prodigy. At age seven, I created a series called The Adventures of Lady and Beauty (my dogs), using lined notebooks.
My paper lust and word infatuation continued into post-secondary, where I earned a BA in English (Minor-Classics) and a Diploma in Professional Writing from Memorial University of Newfoundland. My education plus background as a policy writer/computer technical writer helped kick-start my career as a technical writer for an international deep sea technology company.
Most recently, I’ve been welcomed into the Matador Network as an associate editor. I write small articles and scour the Internet for story ideas, germinating the minds of people everywhere with my brilliance. Working for the world’s largest independent online travel magazine is about as awesome as you’d figure.
I’ve also been dubbed their destination expert for St. John’s, Newfoundland. Additionally, I’m currently interning with Matt Kepnes of Nomadic Matt .
To get a better idea of what I’m all about, check out some samples.

Personal Writings
My number one passion is travel writing, particularly travel narrative and capturing the nightlife of a destination. However, my background with writing about a diverse number of topics ranging from sonar equipment to sports news has provided me with the tools necessary to handle challenges, including research.
