Calgary opinion writer with superior writing skills and more than 20 years of experience in mainstream journalism and corporate communications. I am a media professional who has worked in newsrooms across the country and around the world. I have held positions of leadership across multiple media platforms, including radio, television, newspapers, wire services, digital and social media. Most recently I was a member of the Calgary Herald editorial board, and author of Urban Scrawl, a blog about city and municipal issues.

I’m now the owner of a communications consulting company, where I specialize in media strategy, influencing public opinion, media training and digital content. Whether its speeches, blogs, memos or letters to influence makers, I write compelling and engaging content that touches people on many levels. I am currently the executive director for Transformation Calgary, working to bring in an innovative new funding model for cultural institutions. This progressive and visionary work could have major significance to municipalities across the province and country.
