I'm the B.C. legislative correspondent for Black Press Media's provincial news team.

I previously wrote the BC Today newsletter, a daily dive into the happenings at the B.C. legislature. Before that, I made stops working at Victoria News, Saanich News, the Whitehorse Star and New Denver’s Valley Voice.

I’m interested in stories that explain the human impact of the government’s policy choices.
