After studying in Montreal and growing my skills at The Concordian where I served as news and features editor, I returned to my hometown of Victoria. I joined Black Press Media’s Victoria hub in 2024, serving six papers across Greater Victoria. I report on a range of issues, with a particular interest in food security and food systems, development, environmental issues, politics and Indigenous affairs
