i was born and raised in montreal, but have been proud to call saskatchewan home and have been putting down my roots here since 2019. i joined the starphoenix in 2022 as a reporter covering rural, remote and northern saskatchewan communities through the local journalism initiative.

i have since covered all sorts of stories in and around the city — including an ongoing series highlighting the 2slgbtqia+ community — as well as working on the web desk. i've been a finalist for a canadian association of journalists and a national newspaper award, and am on an ongoing quest to bring more good news stories into my coverage.
