In my spare time you can find me shopping at my local Costco, playing R&B guitar in my basement, or taking a long drive out of the city.

I am the co-anchor and executive producer for EMERGE News NOW. Before my current role, I covered some of the biggest political stories in Ontario with GH360 – including the Ontario secondary school teachers’ strike, the new Finch West LRT connecting Humber College’s north campus to Finch West subway station and the effect that the pandemic had on essential grocery store workers.
