I was born in Thornhill, Ontario, and lived there until I moved to Brampton when I was ten. I attended Bramalea Secondary School and entered a writing contest which I won and as a prize got to be a press reporter for a Raptors game; from that point I was hooked.
I went to York University for a year. Then when they went on strike I realized I had two options; wait it out, or move on. After a year of studying media at York, I realized i actually wanted to 'DO' media. So I packed up my toque, snow shoes, and mitts and headed for North Bay where I enrolled in the Journalism- Print & Broadcast program at Canadore College (I graduate in June 2012).
Through the Journalism Program, I have learned about 'the business' and how to succeed in the industry. During my time at Canadore I have learned to write stories for all three media (Print, Radio, and Television). I have also learned how to shoot, edit and produce stories for our weekly college newscasts as well as learning the; anchor, co-anchor, sports and weather positions. Canadore College has given me the resources and knowledge to further my career in the Broadcast and Journalism field. I am also currently the Weekend News Anchor at CKAT News Radio in North Bay. This job has allowed me to get a feel for the media industry by going on air and doing news casts, while also going out into the community and getting local news stories.
My main interest is in baseball and I'm a huge Toronto Blue Jays fan. Being from Toronto I also love the Maple Leafs, and since there is no NFL North of the Border, my team is the Dallas Cowboys. My ultimate goal is to one day be a broadcaster for the Toronto Blue Jays.
I'm engaging and friendly and love to discuss news and sports in any length or context at any time. I love telling stories and listening to stories - which is really the essence of what a reporter does.
I am currently the play by play announcer for North Bay Jr. A Trappers hockey on www.fasthockey.com and I have experience doing play by play for high school football on CKAT News and on OFC football commentary for COGECO TV, as well as Nipissing Lakers Hockey on both COGECO TV and CKAT News. I am also a contributing writer for the national sports website www.bleacherreport.com.
