About

Strategy meets
execution.

I'm a marketing and communications professional based in Toronto with a background in digital strategy, web development, and systems thinking. I work in the pension and benefits space, where I've taken ownership of everything from website rebuilds to user portal launches to print publications.

My strength isn't just executing tasks. It's seeing where things are broken, figuring out the fix, and building it. I've introduced new systems and platforms, modernized legacy workflows, designed communication campaigns from start to finish, and built WordPress themes from scratch.

I studied marketing at Seneca College, where I focused on digital strategy, consumer behaviour, and integrated communications. That foundation shaped how I approach every project: audience first, then build.

What I Do

Not just marketing.
Digital operations.

I sit at the intersection of strategy and implementation. I don't just plan things. I build, ship, and optimize them.

Web Design & Development
Custom WordPress themes, mobile optimization, UX audits, and full site rebuilds. No page builder templates, no shortcuts.
Marketing & Communications
End-to-end campaign design, brand messaging, multi-channel strategy, and audience segmentation that reduces friction and drives action.
System Improvement
Diagnosing broken workflows, implementing new platforms, modernizing legacy processes, and building systems that scale instead of breaking.
Analytics & Reporting
GA4 dashboards, executive-level reporting, performance insights, and translating raw data into decisions leadership can act on.
Design & Creative
Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro. Brand identity, print layouts, email templates, thumbnails, and visual systems.
Content Production
Video scripts, voiceover direction, newsletter editorial, digital publications, and user education content across print and digital.
Selected Work

Real problems,
shipped solutions.

Every project here solved an actual business problem. No concepts sitting in a slide deck. Shipped work with real outcomes.
