My career has been defined by the high standards and ethical rigor of Canada’s most respected newsrooms. I spent over a decade working full-time for TV News networks, followed by another decade as an independent freelancer. This twenty-year journey has taken me from local news desks to national investigative programs where every frame must have a purpose and every word must be accurate. I carry this newsroom legacy into every assignment I take in the Interior of British Columbia, ensuring that the story is always told with integrity and clarity.
I have covered a vast spectrum of broadcast content, ranging from breaking news and political events to long-form feature documentaries and sports. My work for programs like W5 and CBC Marketplace required a high degree of technical skill and a focused attention to detail. This extensive background has taught me how to adapt my style to meet the specific aesthetic and editorial requirements of any network or program.
When an assignment editor in a major hub hires Distill Media, they are benefiting from two decades of professional judgment earned in the trenches of Canadian journalism. I offer the reliability of a veteran with the deep knowledge of a local resident who knows the rhythm of the Okanagan and Thompson-Nicola regions. I understand that my reputation is built on the consistency of my work and the success of your broadcast. I am here to provide network producers with the peace of mind that comes with hiring a seasoned expert who speaks their language and knows how to deliver.
