Summary

I’m a broadcast professional seeking a career in communications with immersive experience in Victoria and communities across Vancouver Island. I excel in team environments and collaborative projects, but am self-driven and can work independently. My experience as a news anchor, reporter, and producer have given me unique insight into people and organizations on Vancouver Island and my 21-year professional career has been conducted with the highest ethics, as reflected by my references and accomplishments. It is my goal to live and work in Victoria in a challenging, creative and rewarding environment and I believe myself to be an asset to any organization.
