About

I am a Senior Music Producer for CBC Music, Canada’s national public broadcaster. In this role, I am the lead music programmer for the daily radio shows Mornings, with Damhnait Doyle, Drive with Rich Terfry and Afterdark with Odario Williams. This is a dream job for me, as I get to listen to music every day, and then share it with a passionate audience, while supporting Canadian musicians and offering them an outlet to grow. I also coordinate special radio programming and coverage for the JUNO Awards and the Polaris Music Prize. Working with some of the biggest events in Canadian music offers me the chance to flex my creative and organizational muscles. I'm also a contributor to cbcmusic.ca as both a writer and music programmer for a number of popular curated playlists such as Smooth Hits, Classic Soul and Hit Musicals. Currently, I co-host and produce Veg Out: The Toronto Vegetarian Podcast for the Toronto Vegetarian Association and campus/community radio CJRU. As a vegan, I take pride in sharing homemade baked goods with colleagues and friends to demonstrate how tasty plant based food can be. Outside of work, I adore riding my bike in a vintage dress, dancing to soul music and laughing at your jokes. I'm a quiet, yet fierce, force. And I love to make friends with all the animals I meet.
