 📍 Located in the Cowichan Valley, available remotely across Canada

I'm a communications strategist, researcher, and writer with over a decade of experience in communications and branding, having worked on socialist political campaigns, climate justice organizing, and grassroots movement-building. I'm currently completing my MA in sociology at University of Victoria, where my research examines how ideology and power functions in far-right movements. This is work that informs how I think about counter-narrative and political messaging.

I've led the communications strategy for campaigns ranging from local municipal races to national climate projects like the Climate Emergency Unit, the Youth Climate Corps campaign, and I co-launched Revolve Cowichan, a grassroots collective in the Cowichan Valley. I co-produced, researched, wrote the scripts and hosted the Break In Case of Emergency podcast.

I have a background as an investigative journalist covering white supremacist movements, conspiracy culture, and Indigenous resistance for outlets including CBC, The Tyee, and Ricochet Media.

I believe communications work is political work. I'm not interested in branding exercises divorced from strategy, or strategy divorced from ethos focussed on building a more just world for everyone. I work with movements and organizations that are building power from the ground up.
