About
I’m a multi-platform journalist who has spent the past 24 years reporting for TV, radio, and digital from across Canada and around the world. I cover stories for local and national programs, including The National, World at Six, and World Report.
Raised on a farm in southern Saskatchewan, I began my career at CKCK-TV in Regina in the late 90s, then on to MCTV News in Timmins, Ontario, CBC News in Thompson, Manitoba and Kelowna, BC, and beyond with great adventures by train, ice road, and helicopter. I worked abroad, from such countries as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, South Sudan, Libya, and Egypt for five years, filing to PRI’s The World, Deutche Welle, The Guardian, CBC News, and other outlets, and returned home in 2013 to work for CBC News based in Saskatchewan.

I’ve written human rights reporting university curriculum and trained hundreds of community journalists in Africa and the Middle East for Journalists for Human Rights. I also ran workshops in Sierra Leone for female political candidates through the National Democratic Institute.
I’ve been honoured to receive several awards for my reporting and storytelling, including recognition for continued efforts to shine a public spotlight on domestic abuse and intimate partner homicide.
It’s an incredible privilege to learn and share the stories of so many people.
