Careers for lovers of words
I’ll be participating in McGill University’s career panel for English Literature graduates this Monday, April 26th at 5 p.m. The panel will be held at Thomson House (3650 McTavish) on McGill’s downtown campus.
I’ll be speaking about my experience transitioning away from the traditional academic route, job searching and networking tools. I’m looking forward to meeting the students and sharing experiences.

My writing has been featured in lifestyle and fashion magazines, academic journals, corporate communications, fiction anthologies, environmental newsletters & magazines, national news services, and local publications.
Before launching my freelance writing business, I worked as the deputy editor of a national wildlife magazine, an e-learning editor at Thomson NetG, and a teacher of English as a second language.
