I have over twenty years of experience as a journalist and media project manager and content creator. I have created and managed large scale media productions for national and international broadcasters including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Smithsonian Channel, Oprah Winfrey Network and Discovery networks to name a few. I have five years of experience working in health care project management including international vaccine hesitancy research projects with the Canadian Center for Vaccinology and Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine. For the last two years I have been managing rural community outreach COVID 19 vaccine clinic initiatives for the Public Health Department for the Government of Nova Scotia. I also have several years of experience working with youth NGO's as a facilitator and program coordinator.
