About

I am currently the deputy editor of Toronto Life magazine. Before joining the the TL team, I was deputy editor of Reader’s Digest Canada, and, previously, the digital editor at The Walrus. In 2019, The Walrus won gold at the Digital Publishing Awards for our online series Sex-Ed: Beyond the Classroom. I have also been the editor of Canada's progressive, independent This Magazine and have worked as a reporter, editor, and writer in the Arctic, living in Yellowknife, and travelling Canada’s territories and northern Alberta to write about everything from prisons to the Peel Valley. My personal essays tackle the world and my experiences in it, often through a not-so-rosy feminist lens. My feature work has been recognized several times at the National Magazine Awards, including five honorable mentions, one silver and, in 2015, a gold in the personal journalism category for my Toronto Life piece "Save me From My Workout." I've taught long-form writing at Humber College and have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Non-Fiction from the University of King's College. My work has appeared in Toronto Life, Maclean’s, Reader’s Digest, Chatelaine, Hazlitt, and The Walrus.

My new book Women of The Pandemic: Stories from the Front Lines of COVID-19 was published in April 2021 with McClelland & Stewart. I am also the other of No More Nice Girls: Gender, Power, and Why It’s Time to Stop Playing By the Rules and F-Bomb: Dispatches from the War on Feminism. My work has appeared in several anthologies, including Best Canadian Essays 2017 and Whatever Gets You Through.
