I was that kid who got into trouble for
reading past my bedtime...

…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 artists and the worlds they create, no matter the medium. In 2011, I googled “working with stories” and I have been living the dream ever since.

I started my career with an internship at HarperCollins Canada. I then worked at Scholastic Book Fairs Canada and at Penguin Random House Canada. Now, as a Literary Agent at Transatlantic Agency and a newly called lawyer, I support and guide working artists as they navigate their career.

My commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is key to all my work.

I speak at 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 underrepresented artists is the core of every career move I make.
