Today, I officially join the @buildcanada team as their comms lead!
When I first came across the role, it honestly felt like the natural next step to make the most impact in what I’ve been working toward: changing the narrative of Canada’s builders, unpacking their innovative ideas and solutions, and bringing together different communities.
I started my career working at a research and policy think tank while helping to launch and grow early stage startups and continued that work on the side as I began reporting on civic issues then tech and business news. Over time, that led to meeting many ambitious builders who became friends, mentors, and allies, and inspired and pushed me to start ESJ.
Looking back now, all the pivots (and side quests) were leading to this opportunity as they gave me a deeper understanding of the possibilities to drive Canada's growth and innovation.
I’m ecstatic for the work to come, to build on the organization’s momentum, and to be doing it alongside an incredible group of people who are relentlessly pushing for change.
It’s time to build Canada!! 🏗️

I’ve been designing in tech for 15 years.
Somewhere along the way the work stopped resonating.
So I wiped the slate clean.
Deleted my entire portfolio.
Started from zero.
Rebuilt everything with intention.
My brand.
My style.
The clients I attract.
All from the ground up.
All aligned with what I actually believe in.
One shift changed everything.
I aligned my values with my craft.
It is never too late to recalibrate and reengage.
