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’ve 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.

I can’t wait to work with you. Click below to explore how.
