As a professional writer with more than 30 years of experience, I provide science communications and digital services to organizations in the agriculture and environmental sectors that are committed to engaging general audiences through online communications.
Following an apprenticeship as a horticulturist in Ontario in the late 1980s and close to a decade working in the trade, I went on to study print journalism at Sheridan College, interning as an agriculture journalist for The Grower, a Guelph, Ontario-based publication devoted to the commercial fruit and vegetable industry in Ontario. I would later earn a Bachelor of Arts in English from York University while working full-time as the General Manager and Senior Project Manager at a computer application development company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

- I have interviewed hundreds of experts and enthusiasts
