I knew I wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember, reading and writing throughout most of my childhood. However, this dream really started to become a reality when I graduated from high school in 2016. That summer I started an internship with the Downtown Oakville Business Improvement Area where I was able to cover local events, create press releases, and publish my work in the Downtown Oakville Summer Guide and Look Local Magazine. This experience gave me the confidence that I needed to start in the journalism program at Sheridan College.  

​

During my first-year at Sheridan I experienced a lot. I met many like-minded journalists who helped me map out where I wanted to go in the field. I was a first-year representative, I worked the journalism open house, and I was chosen by my professors and program coordinator to cover the Blue Jays game live from the Rogers Centre. The summer after my first-year, I did an internship with the Oakville Community Foundation where I diligently covered stories for Canada's 150th as a Communications Assistant. 

​

When I came back to school in September for my second-year of college, I was able to take classes that put to work all that I learned in first-year. I was able to be the Producer for my Broadcast News class, Managing Editor of DEVIUM Magazine, Producer of the Toronto Christmas Market event, and Editor of Gen Y Not Us online publication.

 

I have now graduated from Sheridan and this summer I will be working with Notable Life online publication, as an intern, researching and creating content for millennials. I can’t wait to start my journey here and learn from a company that expresses my passions at the forefront of their work!

I am an open-minded, out-of-the-box, creator and I cannot wait to see where I end up. If you are interested in following my journey, keep up with my articles by subscribing to my website.
