JRN 302 - Magazine Editing Workshop (Winter 2025)

An editor with over 15 years of experience in magazine, digital, and newspaper journalism, my particular loves are features editing, editorial strategy, and building more equitable newsrooms.

I’m lucky to have spent time at many different kinds of publications, including some of the most established in the country (as senior editor of The Walrus and Focus editor at the Globe and Mail) and a rambunctious start-up (Torontoist [RIP], where I was editor-in-chief for four years). I've edited National Newspaper Award-winning memoir and National Magazine Award-winning journalism, overseen digital and print redesigns, and am currently helping launch two new independent magazines.
