I like to come out from behind my laptop periodically. Past speaking engagements include Wordfest, University of Calgary, Writers’ Guild of Alberta, Sidewalk Citizen’s Tzavta, the Alberta Magazine Publishers’ Association, the Canadian War Museum and Pandemic University. I’ve been a host, panelist, keynote speaker and featured guest.

I love to work with writers from all kinds of backgrounds on manuscripts, stories and essays. Your experience level doesn’t matter at all. I offer line editing and copyediting, proofreading, fact-checking and story development assistance. One of my favourite projects is working with people on narrative medicine essays.

I’m happy to meet with writers to discuss story ideas, pitching, researching, writing and editing. 

I’m an accomplished public speaker, who has given talks on subjects like grief to women’s rights. I also lead workshops and give talks on writing. My presentations can be tailored to meet the needs of your audience.

Looking for a magnetic host for your event? Let’s chat. 

I’ve led live conversations with experts in science, health, politics and the arts, including  multiple Nobel Laureates. I know how to listen, when to dig deeper and how to bring everyone into the conversation.

If you want someone who can guide a thoughtful conversation, lead a panel or moderate an event, I’d love to hear from you.
