…and while the teacher was talking… and while crossing the street. When I tried to break the habit, I did it by binge watching TV and movies. I simply adore writers and the worlds they create, no matter the medium. In 2011 I googled “working with books” and I have been living the dream ever since.
After completing the publishing program at Centennial College, I interned at HarperCollins Canada before working at Scholastic Book Fairs Canada as a book buyer and marketer. I then joined the Online and Digital Sales team at Penguin Random House Canada where I sold ebooks and audio books to retailers. Now, as an Assistant Agent at Transatlantic Agency, I support and guide clients as they navigate their career.
I’ve spoken on panels and podcasts across North America, encouraging my peers in arts and entertainment to reimagine our industry. As the founder of #DiverseCanLit and a founding member of the Festival of Literary Diversity, serving readers and writers of colour is the core of every career move I make.
