I am a freelance journalist based in Toronto. In the spring of 2009, I graduated from the University of Toronto with a double major in Economics and International Relations, and a minor in Urban Studies. While at U of T, I was involved with The Varsity, writing more than 50 articles, and serving two terms as associate news editor.
In my final year at U of T, I stepped back from regular news writing at The Varsity to focus on contributing to the regular special issue, The Varsity Magazine, and recruiting, training and mentoring new writers as the paper’s first Director of Training and Recruitment.
I’ve been published in Eye Weekly, Shameless Magazine, ThreeWeeks, The Student, Peace Magazine, and Youth Action Forum. Since January 2009, I’ve been writing a regular column about internet video for The Tyee.
In 2008-09, I was also Director of Compliance Studies for the G8 Research Group at the University of Toronto, the world’s leading source of independent information and analysis on the G8 and global governance. I supervised about 120 student researchers as we tracked promises made at the 2008 Hokkaido-Toyako Summit. In July 2009, I travelled to Italy for the 2009 G8 Summit to present our results, and carry out further research. Our results are all available online.
This site is an incomplete record of my publications over the last few years. Contributions to offline publications, like Shameless Magazine, are not included.
In 2006-2007 I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland. During that period I wrote a little less than usual, but the two publications that I did write for, Edinburgh University’s The Student and festival review publication ThreeWeeks, have since taken down their online archives from that period. Over time, I intend to scan most of those lost clippings, but in the meantime you can read plenty of my work with The Varsity, The Tyee, and Eye Weekly.
