I’m a Content Producer for Yahoo Sports Canada. A typical day in my life involves following the Toronto Raptors and creating content around the team.

Tell us about a favourite project you’ve worked on since graduating.

Interviewing Cabbie Richards of Sportsnet. This is the interview that started at all. He considered me one of, if not the best interview he's ever done - a goal I've continued to strive for with each interview I do, and ultimately what led me to my current role.
